Multiple ISBN problem

[James]

I have a copy of this book, and i was updating the info on its page to match this edition when i found that the ISBN inside the book (which matched another book here on Goodreads - 9780007273744) is different to the ISBN on the dust cover. I looked it up on Wikipedia (i know its not a great source but it was just a quick check) and found another different ISBN. my dust cover says it is a 1st Edition, and the information inside shows that it was published in the right year to be a 1st edition.

can someone help please

Could you please tell us what is the ISBN listed on the dustcover?

9780007276011

Hmm, they are both published by Harper Voyager so maybe someone made a mistake in the copyright page?

Since 9780007273744 appears to be the ISBN for a completely different book, yeah, I would guess that 9780007276011 is correct. (Is there an ISBN-10 given, and if so which ISBN-13 does it match?)

[James]

i cant find an ISBN-10 on it

are we sure that the other book is right? i dont have a copy of it. i will change it to 9780007276011 for now then, hopefully that it right.

[James]

according to Amazon:

ISBN-10: 000727601X
ISBN-13: 978-0007276011

these are what are now listed on the good reads page for that edition. its just strange to me that the copyright page is wrong.
