Books in my library keep showing up in recommendations

Hey friends,

The title says it all. I keep getting books I’ve already listed, tagged, rated, showing up in my recs. They’ve disappeared from my library. This is at least the 5th time it’s happened. It makes me wonder how many books are being deleted that I’m not catching. Is this happening to anyone else?

Sometimes I see books in my recommendations that I already have in my catalog, but it's always because someone has separated one edition from the main work, not because they've disappeared from my catalog.

The next time you notice one, try to take a screenshot and/or copy a link. Sometimes these kinds of things can't be fixed without examples.

If you email the staff they should be able to help you recover any books that have been deleted from your account.

Thanks, >2 norabelle414:. They aren’t combination problems, just straight-up deletions. Do you know who on staff oversees these things?
