Mark | 4 comments Hi! I am trying to add the hardcover edition of this book to the Goodreads database, only when I tried to do so with the ISBN (0715386999) I received a notice that I couldn't as the ISBN is taken by an existing book in 'Deleted' status. is there any way of addressing this? Thanks!

Please MOVE your topic to the correct folder Questions (from Librarians only) by clicking the (EDIT) button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7859 comments Mark, when you get that notice, click on the link displayed in the notice. That will take you to the book that has the Delete status. If the book is legitimate, change "Delete" to "Public" and save the record.
