Looking at the two entries, it seems to me that these editions of The Hittites ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) are referring to the same book, and can be combined

I created this page, but forgot to add the picture.
The ISBN for this book is 0394757645, but that ISBN was already taken for another cover scan, so I created an alternate cover edition page

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...Empire of the Sun by J. G. Ballard. This ISBN (0671530518) and cover scan refers to a paperback edition rather than a hardcover, as is listed in the details.
Completed #169-170, #172-173Regarding #171: Per Amazon this ISBN is for the hardcover. Does your paperback have the same ISBN? Amazon says the paperback is ISBN-10: 0955575311
ISBN-13: 978-0955575310
Hello Bea--Yes. It is a large, over-sized trade paperback, with the same cover image as what is shown here as belonging to the hardcover. The copyright page only lists the ISBN-10: 0671530518.
This is probably too trivial to waste much time on--I thought perhaps someone had just mistakenly written hardcover when they meant paperback. Maybe my copy is from some paperback book club, where everything--down to the copyright page--was copied from the hardcover, and only the binding was changed.
I went to ABE just to see what would happen and I typed in the ISBN to their search field, and it returned 48 hardcover copies and 11 paperbacks. Not very scientific, I suppose, but at least I'm not the only one with a paperback. Even though I have the book right beside me, I was starting to doubt myself :-)

I'll add a new edition. There are actually two results that return when I search for 'Britain's Moment in the Middle East'--one is a misprint with the dates 1914-1971, instead of 1914-1956. Even the cover scan that is already associated with that result shows 1914-1956.
The only information on my edition's copyright page is:
Published in Great Britain by
Chatto and Windus, LTD
Below that is ©Elizabeth Monroe 1963
At the bottom of the title page, however, it reads:
The Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore
I never can figure out where to get the ISBN information for these books that were initially published without one. Yet almost all of them have an ISBN associated with their Goodreads entry. If anyone knows a way to find this information, I'd love to hear it.

I misunderstood--I didn't realize you were going to create one. You can delete this:

254 pages, hardcover.
A couple of images I forgot to add as I was creating the pages:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Both of these books belong to a twenty volume set of H. Rider Haggard's books, so both images look the same--there were no dust jackets issued with this set that I'm aware of, and the only distinguishing marks between each book was the title on the spine.
Both images are in my profile, and neither have ISBN's associated with them.

The entry I've linked to is missing some publication data
Published in 1961 by the J. Lippincott Company
Hardcover, 338 pages
Also, the entry I've linked to indicates this is in Spanish. My copy is in English, which makes more sense, given the title is in English.
