Damyanti Biswas | 11 comments Someone created an edition for my book at

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It has since been marked WANT TO READ more than 200 times.

Goodreads has created an automated edition now with ISBN.

Could you please combine the two editions while moving the WANT TO READs over to the edition with proper ISBN:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I'd really hate to lose the WANT TO READ shelvings.

Could you please merge the two editions while adding the Want to Read to the edition with ISBN?

Thanks so much for your help.

Emily | 17496 comments I will work on this.
It will cause the editions to separate but then I will recombine them. You will not lose want to reads.

Emily | 17496 comments OK, it's all done. It will take a day or two for everything to update.

Damyanti Biswas | 11 comments So grateful for all your help, Emily. I'll check and report back when it all updates.

Emily, the editions seem to be all there, but the Want To Read s have not transferred to the paperback/kindle editions. The total count (232) shows when 'all editions' option is clicked, but they don't show on either the paperback or the kindle edition.

Could you please take a look? I appreciate all your help.

Emily | 17496 comments What I can see is that everyone who marked it "want to read" still has it on their shelves. That is expected. So that's why you see the total count.
However you are correct that they don't show on the individual books. I still think they will eventually transfer but something may be holding it up. To ask about this, you'll need to contact Support as librarians don't have access to site functionality issues.

If I were you I would provide them with a link to this thread so that they can see exactly what we are referring to.

Thank you Emily. I've done exactly as you suggested. Have a lovely new year and thank you for your help.
