Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

My list of books includes multiple editions of my book More Than a Rock. Can these be merged? The current/recent one has "2nd edition" in the title. The two other versions listed are both obsolete and no longer available.

Also, there is a book titled "Art and Witchcraft in Early Modern Italy" written by another author with the same name as me, but it is not my book and I'd like it removed from my list.

Thank you,
Guy Tal

Done. I have combined all editions (you had 3 'sets' of multiple editions, 7 editions in total) titled "More Than a Rock". We don't remove editions that are out of print as readers may still review/shelve those titles.

Allow some time for changes to appear and mark your post title as [DONE] for other librarians.

Thank you! However, the changes don't look correct. My book "More Than a Rock 2nd Edition" (the current edition) seems to have been removed, and the previous edition (without "2nd edition" in the title), which is now out of print, is the only one listed.
Also, there seem to be two separate listings for my book "Another Day Not Wasted".
Why not allow authors to maintain their own book lists?

In fact, you can combine your own books (the link is above your book list on your profile), as well as set the default edition (edit your preferred edition and set it there.)

No it hasn't been removed, it's just not the default edition after being combined. See the Work level (which lists all editions):

As a registered GR author you have the ability to set the default edition of your works, see the following Help article for instructions: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

There are two books that need to be combined still,

hardcover edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Kindle edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Got it. Thank you very much!
