and

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68...

are the same books with same editions. I edited the first one, the second is not necessary is this case. Can a super-librarian delete it?

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments They have different publishing dates. So I think they should both stay.

Gerd | 1050 comments It's the same book, same ISBN, only one has the last letter cut of from the ISBN number and a wrong written title!

I separated them out, so that the reviews will be merged in the right entry, but the wrong entry needs a super to be deleted:

L. | 3 comments I have a similar problem and need a super librarian to delete a redundant Amazon Kindle edition of my book which I have unpublished (no longer available).

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...

It is the exact same edition, though with a different ASIN, which I published at Amazon by mistake until I realised I could update my original edition.

Help!

19 users have added that edition, which implies they own that edition.

We do not delete out-of-print books.

L. | 3 comments But it's the exact same edition as

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I added it by mistake, and the link is dead. It will just confuse people who seek to access/download it.

Check and you'll see what I mean. The edition to be deleted is not out of print.( It never was in print as an ebook, actually.) It simply does not exist any longer at Amazon. See:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...

Again, I ask you to please delete this non-existent ebook:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/63...

Thanks!

L. | 3 comments Rivka,

Can you please address this problem? It's frustrating to click on an non-existing edition.

Thanks.
