Teri-K This book is written by an American in English, but the default description is in another language:

Thanks for fixing it. I didn't know how. :)

I found another edition that had an English language description and marked it as default. Then I found the Polish edition - the previous default language - and copied/pasted the old default into that description, so that it would be in the right language.

Clwseattle | 94 comments Goodreads also seems to mark every KINDLE EDITION as default no matter how many times I correctly choose the hardcover edition I read. This is maddening!

Spamming threads that have nothing to do with your complaint is also maddening. You don't seem to be aware how GR works yet. Which edition you put on your shelf and which edition is the default are two separate things. The default edition is just the one that has been shelved the most.
