Above are different editions of same book and should be combined, I believe.

This is one of several books that were originally published under a slightly different author's name:

Older editions author's name on cover: Cher Gorman
Newer editions author's name on cover: Cheryl Gorman

The other older editions do not come up on a name search of Cher Gorman; they have been changed in the database to only show the new name. Shouldn't they also come up on a search of the older name, as shown by the covers seen below?

I personally have a copy of Seductive Reasoning with a cover showing Cher Gorman and the following info:
© copyright June 2006, Cher Gorman
Cover art by Jenny Dixon, © copyright June 2006
ISBN 1-58608-950-1
New Concepts Publishing
Lake Park, GA 31636

The above ISBN is in goodreads assigned to the NEW 2012 edition of Sheriff in Her Stocking, a different book. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

How did the old ISBN get assigned to a new and different book?

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Ugh re Cher / Cheryl - will look into it if noone else has got it already.

And ISBNs do get reused, unfortunately. Will check that bit too but looks like a simple mistake in this case as a Kindle edition CANNOT have an ISBN :D

OK fixed the Cher / Cheryl for that title. Having to use a bit of a workaround for the adding both as names so similar...

Working on Wolf Island - Done

Is it the case on any others titles of her's too?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... - should be your copy of Seductive Reasoning. Just adding ISBN13 now.
