Sasha Newborn (BirdieQ) | 12 comments This entry is a mashup of my book (with my ISBN number) and, apparently a Running Press book. The cover and some information shown seem to be for the Running Press book, as well as the number of pages, and the general description. But it shows my publication year, ISBN number, and publisher name.

Their title seems to be the same as my translation, although they have a subtitle and I do not.

Who handles this? It might be easier to delete the entry entirely, so that Bandanna Books and Running Press can do independent re-entries.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Yes, I can see the problem. Let me see what's needed to fix this....

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Okay, I think I have it sorted out:
http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

Is the information on the edition which you translated correct now?

(I have no idea how Running Press is related, if it is at all; Ingram seems to be carrying simply wrong data for this edition.)

By the way, I skimmed the reviews and it looks like there are some reviewers who left reviews on your edition based on the incorrect cover image; they meant to be reviewing the other edition from Aijaz Ahmad. Unfortunately there's nothing librarians or authors can do about that, since it's up to reviewers to chose which edition to review. They may chose to switch to one of the Aijaz Ahmad editions if they notice the cover and translator changes.


Sasha Newborn (BirdieQ) | 12 comments Yes, thank you Cait. You found the older description I had written. The right cover is on. Much appreciated.
