Edited :I try to separate it, but seems like its impossible since there are " Sorry, you can't separate the most popular edition of a work "
Need another librarian's help (or maybe super librarian)
There was a lot more than a single edition that needed separating out. And they are definitely different books.
I think I got them untangled.

@ Ren,for future reference, try to separate the book via the separate tool. even the most pupolar edition can be separated. :)

Actually, I had used the separate tool, but in this case we separate both the most popular edition :(
Luckily, all already solved :)
I think I got that same or a similar message, too. That's why I posted for help. Rivka, "tangled" was a very good description for this!!
To clarify, the link above goes to the combine page (with a filter), not to the separate tool. That's here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/separat...
Since the tool involves separating one or more editions from the primary edition, it's not possible to get that error message on that page.

how did you get to the separate page? by clicking the separate link next to the title? I never got to that page, I got the "sorry" message, unless I was clicking on a different edition. See, that's why I stick to the easy stuff like typos, cover photos, things I can't break.
Or, if you're on the combine page, you have at the bottom right of each work a "separate tool"-link.
