Different cover, same editions (aka the problem when publishers publish the same book with a different cover)

[Rianna]

Two books I own have different covers than the same edition on Goodreads has. This has to do with publishers republishing the book with a different cover but the same ISBN. Since I can't add a book with the same ISBN on Goodreads (or at least I haven't figured out how to do that yet), I'm looking here for help.

1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
My edition of this ISBN: 1853260274 (ISBN13: 9781853260278) version of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift has the following cover and not the one that is showing here on Goodreads:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...

2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
My edition of Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon has the same ISBN: 0440215625 (ISBN13: 9780440215622), but a different cover : http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDM2Mw=...

I'm hoping someone in this group can help me!

Thank you in advance! :D

#1 - I believe your edition was already on GR right here:Gulliver's Travels

#2 - What is the publisher, pub date, page count, format (Mass Market Paperback or paperback)?

For #2, I suspect the edition wanted is this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

That's the one I have too.

Great example of why ACE editions should be cross-referenced. And the ACE isn't even identified in the description for the member to verify. (Off to do that now.)

Sorry for not commenting.. but you were both right. Those are the exact editions. Thank you :)
