Theresa, changes don't always import correctly if the ISBN of a new edition is re-used from previous editions. Can you provide the publication information for the new edition so it can be added here? (We never remove or overwrite records of old editions, but new editions can always be added.)

It does NOT need changing; it needs an alternate-cover edition to be added, which you can do or someone can help you with.
I'm not sure whom you contacted, but the fastest way to get records added or updated (unless there's some sort of legal issue which needs an employee to review it) is to post here in the librarian group.I've added the new Nagrasanti editions from your website:

re:8, done
re:Cait, I am not certain Nagrasanti needed an alt cover, as there wasn't a cover there.(I did not delete the alt)

I entered it as an alt because it appears that the book had been published under the old title (and presumably under the old cover, or some cover with the old title) in July, since Theresa specified that the title was changed for the edition published in September. I don't think that that record should be changed.

ISBN belongs to the first published edition of the book. An alternate cover edition with the new meta data and cover where created here as per GR policyhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
Theresa wrote: "No, because the ISBN is mine and not CreateSpace's, and the title was changed for ..."If older, different titled or even an out of print book was ever published with that isbn (whoever owns isbn or whatever the current records are), it has a place in the goodreads database.
