Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

What happens to a book that was self published for a short period of time many years ago, and that it had 0 sales. Can it be deleted from your database? There is not a single copy in this world.

Thanks.

As there is no way we can possibly verify that it was never sold or distributed, no we cannot delete it.

What if I can get a written statement or report from Amazon? I don't think they issue them, but I can ask. Would that suffice?

This isn't something for volunteer librarians. Please contact support for any further information. support

According to a ruling by rivka, the former librarian moderator, whether any copies were sold is not relevant.

But as Tawnya said, you are free to contact Support and discuss the issue.

Ok, no problem. Thanks.
