My copy of the book contains multiple stories from after 1949, which made me suspicious about the cover. I have searched the British Library's catalogue and Worldcat and confirmed that the ISBN for my book is for The Best of Isaac Asimov. My copy runs to 336 pages.
Searching Worldcat for the second ISBN above yields the information that the ISBN is associated with a book entitled The Best of Isaac Asimov 1939-1952 (Worldcat notes in their entry that the cover says 1949). The second book runs to 184 pages instead of 336 pages.
The covers on these novels need to be swapped, so that the cover with Angus Wells on the front belongs to the second book and the plainer cover belongs to the first book.. The first book should be 336 pages long and the second should be 184 pages long. Both books were published by Sphere and the second one should list Angus Wells as a co-author; I am not sure that the first one should.
Since the second book is actually a distinct and separate book from the first, so the two should not come up as editions of one another (they should be uncombined, I don't know what the proper Goodreads term is for that).
Thanks for reading, this is a pretty complex request for a change! :)
(I am hoping to become a librarian soon so I've brushed up on my acceptable metadata sources and appropriate sections of the manual, hopefully I've got it all right.)
