Sarah | 69 comments Hello,
I have a problem in two parts.

Part one, my latest release, Until Sadie Happily Ever Alpha World by Sarah Curtis was added to this author... Sarah Curtis and should be me. I haven't had this issue in a while since you guys added a double space between my first and last name. Can you please add that book to me and combine it with this one... Until Sadie (Happily Ever Alpha World) by Sarah Curtis

Part two, while on the author's profile, I saw a few of my books on her page. They are random and have no ratings so I know they are not linked to the same name books on my profile. Is there a way to delete them?

Thank you so much for your help.

these just need to be combined. I have not been able to combine works for a bit, so if another librarian can finish these, that would be great. Otherwise I will finish it in the morning.

Sarah | 69 comments I'm so sorry to bother you guys again. I tried to make the Amazon edition of Until Sadie the primary edition but it's still not showing up in your search engine. I only care because this is the edition that links to its page on Amazon. Is there a way to fix it so when people search for the book they see this edition... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... and not this one... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Suzi | 8661 comments Only the author can set the default edition. A librarian cannot even see the option to do that. If it is not working for you, only Goodreads support can help with that.

The incorrect edition is queued to be merged into the correct edition, and it will disappear soon

For future reference, if you create an edition without an identifying number, either ASIN or ISBN, the automatic import will appear and basically create a duplicate edition. If you do create an edition without a number, you can add it as soon as you have it available.

Will this title have a paperback edition? I can covert the existing edition a paperback if you have the ISBN for it. [just a thought]

Sarah | 69 comments It will have a paperback but I'm waiting until the book officially releases before I upload it.

So it's okay to add the ASIN number to the Until Sadie edition I created? I didn't know it was okay to do that. Will it then merge the books and create just the one edition?

Suzi | 8661 comments If you have the ISBN for the paperback and the cover for it, you can upload the cover to your profile photo section, and provide the ISBN here, and I will create the incorrect ebook edition into the paperback edition.

Sarah | 69 comments Oh, okay. I'll be uploading the paperback on Friday. I'll check back then when I have the ISBN. Thank you.
