Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Edition information for the two combined editions showing for Heroes Reward isn't goodreads standard; both are ebook format. The kindle edition asin B00BAVQD6S should be combined with other editions.

The isbn 9780991797400 is a regular old format=ebook from smashwords (last I read librarians manual and these threads, none of the other smashwords ebooks were supposed to note that smashwords allows you to download in multiple formats nor did I think goodreads tracked current drm status for the current publisher/distribution venues). The url for that edition is http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/... .

The live journal url on the other edition is accurate but edition information is non-standard; (I think it's the url author put and wants; a briefer update is also at http://moiraj.livejournal.com/215792.... if it helps librarian research). Possibly if publisher="Moira J. Moore via Smashwords" is acceptable on isbn edition then publisher for this edition could be "Moira J. Moore via Live Journal."

To the best of my knowledge, no print editions.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've combined the Kindle edition and changed the format of the livejournal edition to ebook; the URL is fine, as is the author's name as publisher for a self-published edition.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Thanks! But edition is still saying "free to read..." on the live journal one and multiple format drm crap in the edition field of smashwords ebook (unless cache has just not caught up).

I don't think, as the only release of this work, anything should be in edition field.

Are all the books from smashwords, Baen and other publishers/distributors offering multiple file types for download now supposed to put that in edition field?

(I knew author name okay as publisher, I just thought since live journal free to read was going to be stripped from edition field that adding "via Live Journal " might have been a compromise).

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Thanks! (No longer a librarian but was cringing at the amount of work tht would be needed to go back thru all the multiple format ebooks, LOL.)

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments Oy! I hear you. I have a series (thankfully only 3 books atm.) that the author has overwritten data for 3 versions per book on. Trying to sort out the covers/titles/editions and revert them to the proper states and add the new alt editions has been interesting.

Also, thanks for helping with David.

P.S. I am going to PM you.
