Goodreads provides the ISBN or ASIN for each edition; after that it is the users who select which bookseller links they would like to see on the book page.

I am seeing four different editions in your list of links:
* paperback, ISBN 1492303607/9781492303602
* ebook, ISBN 9781301100828
* Kindle, ASIN B00FH94MPS
* ebook, ISBN 2940045253482

The paperback and the 9781301100828 ebook editions are already here:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

So what we need to do is add the other ebook and the Kindle editions and combine all four together as one book. Are you comfortable creating those records? If not, we can take the information about the Kindle edition from Amazon, but you'll need to provide us with the information about the ebook edition with the 2940045253482 ISBN since it's only available from Barnes & Noble and we can't legally use their website as a data source.

As far as B&N is concerned that was sent to them via Smashwords. I suppose they created that number after it was delivered to them. If you do a preview the book clearly shows the ISBN from Smashwords - 9781301100828

Can they re-assign a number like that?

I'll try and add the Amazon Kindle edition but will it combine with the one you referenced?

Well, I think I messed things up again. Please fix to make it right.

Thanks a bunch,

Yeah, B&N has a range of 294- ISBNs which they like to use for ebooks marketed for their Nook ereader. If it's the same as the Smashwords edition, I can just take the new ISBN from your link and create the edition by otherwise copying the Smashwords record.

Okay, how's this?

You can edit any of these editions, but remember not to try and change one edition into another (it looks like you removed the ebook ISBN to replace it with the Kindle ASIN, which I've undone).
