Please clarify book details and add cover etc as needed

[Pam]

I have a copy of Stig of the Dump, with the same ISBN as a record on GR, but the details of my book including cover image are totally different. Has the publisher used the same ISBN for 2 editions? The one already recorded under this ISBN has the original cover image by Edward Ardizzone from the 1963 edition and is dated 2010, with a different page count.

My copy:
ISBN: 0140364501
publisher: Puffin Books
Year: 1993
Page count: 163
Type: paperback

This edition includes an afterword by Kaye Webb

Hi Pam, so I did a bit of research and it seems like your edition of the book is an alternative cover. So basically that means the publisher used the same ISBN to publish the book with a new cover.

Added the ACE https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

OK thanks for that Nandar. Weird that they did so with the 2 dates so far apart, mine being the earliest one.

Yeah... I think your one should have been reflected on the database and the 2010 one should have been the ACE. It is weird indeed!

Nandar,

I just accidentally found another entry with the same cover as mine - ref is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The ISBN is 0141301619 so NOT the same as mine!

It says there is no other edition! So this one looks to be an orphaned version and needs to be either assimilated or got rid of if it duplicates your efforts with the alternative cover version or with one of the other existing editions of the book.

#5 combined with the other editions.

Thanks for that.
