Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi,

I ran across this book that was on my shelf and someone changed the title to OUT OF PRINT... I don't know what the protocol is for that, but I am pretty sure the name shouldn't be changed. I just left it alone so I didn't goof it up any more.

She also changed the description. You are right, these things should not be changed. I've reverted them back.

As well as the other book in the series. I reverted the changes on that book as well.

She's vandalized them before. I nearly flagged her for it last time.

Thanks guys! I thought I should just change it back, but I wanted to double check so I didn't end up on a naughty list... I'm on enough of those as it is ;-)

is there a box or something that can be checked to indicate that the book is currently not available for purchase in digital format?

This was recently discussed here:

Summary: Out-of-print may be noted in the description.

ETA: Accidentally cross-posted with rivka. Forgot that the manual was updated already. :P

Completely agree with all of the above.

A plain text, plainly worded out of print note like "This edition is no longer in print." is allowed discreetly at bottom of book description (recent threads and help topic revisions to clarify)—but that's it.

And authors ate welcome, of course, to set a currently available edition to be the primary edition (effectively somewhat hiding the OOP editions unless specifically shelved or searched by members wanting that specific edition).

Excellent! Thanks!
