Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

For a number of reasons, this title is no longer being published by the original publisher - and as it wasn't due for release until June, it technically doesn't exist any more. The author is now self publishing - should I just add an alternate edition or should the original be deleted (seeing as it doesn't actually exist) and a new one added?

People have shelved the original, indicating interest. If the author has announced any information about the self-published edition—release date, cover, ISBN/ASIN for self-pubbed version, something like that—then make a new edition with that info and merge the original edition with it. That way, users who shelved the old one will be moved over to the new one.

Will do, thanks.
