There are editions of the book Manufacturing Consent that need to be merged.

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Blank edition, merge with whichever one seems best I guess

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780099533115

3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780099533115

4. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780375714498

5. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... – Duplicate of ASIN B06Y2LSTZZ

6. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780375714498

7. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780099533115

8. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... – I don’t think this is a valid edition. The description says it’s an ACE of ISBN 9780375714498, but ISBN 9780375714498 was published in 2002 and the cover art has never been changed. Additionally, ISBN 9780375714498 is a US edition, but the cover art is a variant of a previous UK edition’s art. Finally, I cannot find any actual valid source for this art from any acceptable online sources, or any sources at all for that matter. I believe it does not exist and needs to be marked invalid.

9. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – This is not the book Manufacturing Consent, but a pamphlet containing a lecture by Noam Chomsky that predated the book. It does not have an ISBN and does not seem to be listed on Goodreads, so it looks like it should be invalidated.

1. Done
2, 3, 7. Ongoing
4. Done
5. One of them is an audiobook and the other is an Audible. These are considered two different formats, unless one can show that a non-Audible audiobook never exited.

There is a non-Audible audiobook, but it hasn't been added to Goodreads. Do you want me to post the info in this thread so you can create it and merge, or would you rather me ask another librarian to create it and circle back to this thread so the merge can be carried out once it's added to the site?
