Adeeb (adeebn) | 19 comments Hi,

The following book has the wrong ISBN on the wrong edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

The correct one should have this cover and publisher. How is this fixed? http://www.bookdepository.com/Bloodro... Also, the page count is wrong as well. It is 408 not 416

Thanks

We cannot use book information from booksellers, but it sounds like you are requesting an alternate cover edition?

Lacrima_Atra | 101 comments Adeeb might be right though. By entering the ISBN in Worldcat, I can only find one edition with the cover he/she suggested as correct. (The same occurs by searching some other sites, i.e. non-acceptable sources.)

That is far from proof that the cover currently showing is not also correct.

here's the publisher's page for the book:
http://www.littlebrown.co.uk/Books/de...

I also suspect that the cover is incorrect for that ISBN, rather than a case of alternate covers (the book was published a few months ago, the current cover is the one for the US edition.)

OK, checking the log it seems that someone changed the ISBN for that edition from 9780399256127 (US hardcover) to 9781907411380 and that's the source of the confusion (the other details have also been modified back and forth)

All good points, especially since the log shows that cover was updated months before the pub date, and could easily have come from a non-ISBN-specific source.

Fixed.
