Bookish | 19 comments I asked about being able to combine quotes a while ago as a normal librarian rather than superlibrarian

Today I found the option to do it (it may be new I'm not sure).
First you go to the author and look at all quotes and then the "Combine quotes" option appears
http://www.goodreads.com/author/quote...

But even when it says "successfully merged" it just seems to delete the quote with the least likes. Example
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10094... (disappeared after combining, had 1 like)
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/34649... (still 82 likes after combining)

This quote I also tried to combine but it won't allow it (I presume because the total likes would be offer 500).

Merging quotes does keep the one with the most likes. It really does move over the likes from the other one(s), but due to caching that may not be immediately obvious.
