Martijn Heemskerk (zampano77) | 80 comments This cover image belongs to a variety of reprints of the author's work in the late 1990's, it resembles the entry of a 1998-edition on GR. I've read this book with a bright yellow colour, to be found at bibliotheek.nl. Suggested course of action, awaiting approval:

Separate this and 1998-entry
Empty the ISBN entry fields of this edition
Merge these two entries with similar covers
Combine them back with the other editions
Add a new 1988-edition (hardcover) with the right cover art and corresponding ISBN

I see no reason to assume the same (or similar) cover was not used with 2 different ISBNs. It happens all the time.

Martijn Heemskerk (zampano77) | 80 comments Thank you, Rivka. I'm aware similar covers can be reused for reprints with different ISBNs. In this case the publisher specifically created uniform cover images for a set of reprints of the author's work (1998-2000). That same cover image wasn't used ten years prior. I reckon I'll have to use an ACE to right this wrong.

ETA: Another ACE on this entry, I had to use one to differentiate the 2009-edition (movie) and 2014-edition with the same ISBN.
