Book rescuing error?! rond des sorciers

[Natacha]

OK, so tonight I happened to look up a French book I own called 'La Poésie arabe' by René R. Khawam. This book's ISBN is 2-85940-296-9. However, when I looked up the book with that ISBN, another book came up called 'rond des sorciers.' Now that book is also French, is listed as having the same page number (491) so I thought that it was the same book I own, and went ahead and 'rescued' the book by adding in the author Rene R. Khawam. However, after looking up the author, I saw that a later edition of the book already exists on GR here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32.... However my edition dates from 1995.

So basically, I am drawing attention to 2 things:

1. The book 'rond des sorciers' is NOT by Rene R. Khawam. I tried to fix this as soon as I realized the error, but it seems I couldn't go back and fix it once the book had been 'rescued.' (lol)

2. It seems that 2 books have the same ISBN, since 'rond des sorciers' is listed as having it, while the book I own on arab poetry also has the same one.

Thanks for the team's help in fixing these discrepancies. :)

Oh, I also just did a quick search of 'rond des sorciers' and it seems it's authored by Claude Seignolle, and the full title is 'le rond des sorciers'

Both books are in the catalog of the French National Library, both with the same ISBN, so it seems to be a case of a reused ISBN (this shouldn't happen, but it does :( ):

I fixed the Le Rond des sorciers entry according to the data from mentioned source, and created a new entry for your 1995 edition of La Poésie arabe. However, since the first one already existed, that one keeps the ISBN:

If you can provide us a copy (scan, photo...) of the cover of your edition of La Poésie arabe, we will be glad to add it.

If this keeps the same ISBN would you please put one on my self?

@Koenraad: Thanks a lot for your help! I'll be glad to provide a photo, but could you please let me know how to upload it here? (Are pictures allowed; I've never done this before...)
Thanks :)

Go to your profile. Under your profile photo, click on the 'more photos' link. On your right on the next screen, click on the option 'add more photos', chose the photo you want to upload and click on the upload button. Then just let us know the picture is on your profile and we'll add it from there. :)
