     I was adding my copy of The Forever War to my shelves and saw that my edition was missing. I filled out the form and uploaded a cover scan, but it was rejected for a duplicate ISBN (0-380-70821-3). I've double and triple-checked that I entered it correctly. What's the appropriate next step? I'd attach a copy of the scan here if I could.

   Thanks, but I realized I wasn't entirely clear. The ISBN exists, it's even for the right book, but that's not the same as the one I have in my hand - different cover, publisher, date, length, etc. In short, I think the current entry is wrong.

Add the one you have in front of you as a new book INCLUDING your cover. Don't put the ISBN in the box. Put the ISBN into the description field and post a link to the finished book in this thread. We can then, probably, sort it out.

      http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...ISBN in the description as requested. The book's not in the greatest shape, so accept my apologies as to the quality of the cover scan. If GR saves a high-res version of the image, you can make out the ISBN on left side. Thanks again.
