I only know this because before I started using Goodreads I didn't really have a method of keeping track of what I'd ordered between all the swap sites I'm in. Now I use Goodreads to do that, but anyway before I did I really wanted Time Tactics of Very Successful People so I ordered it... on three different swap sites. Anyway I have a few different printings and two of them come up a seperate books instead of different editions of the same book.

They have different ISBNS for some reason but they're the same book, probably one was just a reprint or something. Not sure why, but I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks, Jenn! I combined them.

Sweet. I have a lot of books, I'm working on listing them here to help me keep track and I'm trying to post here as I notice things like that when I remember. I have a few posted where they aren't the same ISBN as the listed editions, but since the book was already listed I just used the listing that was there, are the other isbns for the books something you're interested in knowing as well?

Sure. We like to have the database as complete as possible. :)

I'll post here as I find them, when I get the stuff I haven't entered done I'll go back and find the ones that I didn't have the right ISBN for but were the same book. If you want cover images for anything in my listings just tell me and I'll scan it. :) Of course I can only do like one at a time since I only have one profile image I can upload lol.

Actually, you can upload 5 pictures to GR in addition to your profile pic. Anyway, we can arrange to have you email your scans to someone as well.

Or you could become a librarian and upload your scanned covers yourself. :D

I would, but I work swing shift and have only been on a lot recently because it's my one weekend off a month.

Gotcha. :)

But becoming a librarian doesn't mean committing to a certain number of hours a week or anything. As little or as much as you can/want is fine. :)

So I'd just fix what I saw when I had the time and came across it?

Sure. That's what most of us do.

I just have no life. ;)
