Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 1631 comments This is the edition of The Black Echo that I have but it's not one of the numerous cover editions listed for the book here on GR. I tried adding a new edition but it says that there is already an edition listed with that ISBN#. It's not really a big deal, I was just wondering if I had done something wrong. This is the first time that I haven't been able to find the exact edition I own.

Is this the Kindle edition?


message 3: by Veronica (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 1631 comments No, sorry. I thought I had highlighted the mmp edition.

I can add your edition without the ISBN if you'd like. There isn't a mass market paperback edition that matches the one on Amazon.

Let me know.

The ISBN for the edition you have is assigned to this edition here on GR:

You need a librarian (I'm one) to effectively add an edition with a new cover and have it be combined with the other editions. You can post your requests in the Goodreads Librarians group or let me or other librarians in this group know here.

That would be awesome, Jonetta. Thank you! I know it's a silly thing, but it messes with my sense of order to not have the cover match the one I'm reading, lol.

You're welcome!

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 1631 comments Fairy librarians, I have another Harry Bosch book whose edition I can't seem to find here on GR. This is the link to the mmp edition that I have. May I impose on one of you to add this edition? I'd be most appreciative.

Done! Someone assigned the ISBN to another edition so I just left that info blank.

Anytime.

Michelle | 3257 comments Sorry I actually don't know where to ask this. But how do I add new dates read without losing the original a date read?


message 17: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 12905 comments Mod
Unfortunately, Goodreads doesn't have an easy solution. Here are your two options.

1. You can select another edition to record your reread date info. You'll have two separate records.

2. Edit your existing edition to add the reread date information in the body of the review.

FYI, you can ask questions in the "How this folder works" topic if it doesn't fit anywhere else. But, this works, too:)

Michelle | 3257 comments Thanx Jonetta. Will do in future. To both.
