Jeff | 974 comments There are three Audible Audio editions listed for this book. The third one has hardly any details, no picture and no reviews. The first two I'm sure are the same edition, but I don't know whether they can be merged since one has the ASIN from Amazon, and one has the ASIN in the URL on Audible. The details are just about all there, although the first one seems to have some extra info in the Edition, and the second one is missing the page count.

ASIN: B002UZZ93G

ASIN: B0001DBI1Q
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Num pages: 34

Thank you.

Jeff | 974 comments Following up on this request. I'm not sure what the guideline is as far as the Amazon vs. Audible ASINs, but it at least looks like the third one (with no picture) could be merged with one of the others.

Arenda | 26447 comments Both Amazon and Audible ASIN's are valid editions.
Added the page count to your second link.

The third Audible edition is a duplicate, waiting for the merge to go through merged the duplicate edition.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Just curious, how is there a page count for an audible audio? I thought the 34 might have come from a rounding up of the listening time of 33 hours and 50 minutes. (Not a user of this format, I'm probably missing something.)

From the librarian manual: For audio books, the number of hours rounded up should be used in lieu of number of pages, when that information is known.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Thanks Arenda! There's so much in the manual these days, I forget to look. I probably knew that at some point in the foggy past. :-)

Jeff | 974 comments Thanks... I'm curious also, I understand the editions are both valid, but it seems to me that they're the same edition. If I'm on Amazon's page for that edition with Amazon's ASIN, it's linked to Audible's page with their ASIN (in the URL). Sometimes they have the same ASIN, sometimes it is different (as in this case).
