Rae Mariz | 1 comments Hello kind librarians,

I'm in the process of getting my rights to The Unidentified reverted to me, so I'm doing a little prep work so I can smoothly re-release a new edition when the time comes. I just noticed how cluttered the list of editions are for each format. It says there are "15 editions"!

The hardcover was published by Balzer+Bray, a (then) imprint of HarperCollins, in October 2010. The paperback was released by Balzer+Bray, a (then) imprint of HarperCollins, in April 2012. And a Kindle Edition ebook was released by Balzer+Bray, a (then) imprint of HarperCollins, also in October 2010.

Is it standard practice to have the imprint and the publisher in separate listings like this? Sometimes with different page numbers?

Hardcover:

The Unidentified (Hardcover) Balzer+Bray 296 pages
(no ASIN number)
The Unidentified (Hardcover) HarperCollins First Edition Printing Hardcover 296 pages
ASIN: 0061802085
The Unidentified (Hardcover) Balzer+Bray 304 pages
ASIN: B0055X61TG

Kindle:

The Unidentified (Kindle Edition) Balzer+Bray 304 pages
ASIN: 0062012789
The Unidentified (Kindle Edition) Balzer+Bray Reprint 308 pages
ASIN: B003VIWNT4

Paperback:

The Unidentified (Paperback) HarperCollins Reprint 304 pages
ASIN: 0061802093
The Unidentified (Paperback) Balzer+Bray Reprint 304 pages
ASIN: B00BQ9LNZK

If that's how the formats are generally listed, or if it's too much hassle to merge effectively, is it possible to remove these listings below with the title misspelled and others listed with "0 pages" (including one with a cover and publisher I've never seen before)

The Unindentified [sic] (Paperback) HarperCollinsPublishers Anniversary Edition, PB 296 pages
ASIN: B0DN27PWQF
The Unidentified by Rae Mariz (2010-10-05) 0 pages
ASIN: B01FGLO0EE
[(The Unidentified)] [By (author) Rae Mariz] published on (April, 2012) 0 pages
ASIN: B018EXH62E
The Unidentified (Paperback) John Spencer Badger 0 pages
ASIN: B009OASWSY

Thank you so much!!! The Spanish edition by SM and the Australian edition by Text Publishing are correct.

I hope I posted this in the right place! Let me know if you need any more information!

Scott | 8752 comments I have moved the book by Gray Barker. Goodreads often thinks that if books have the same title, they are the same book, even though the authors are different. I also merged a couple duplicate records.

The ASIN records at the bottom appear to have been removed already.
