I noticed that, but according to Tina they are the same, also the German edition have the same difference in title.

Please note that the first edition on this list needs spelling corrections in both the title and authors slots...

Anne Gross | 7 comments Hello,

I think this is where I post a request to merge two listings that are the same? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure that the content is the same in all of them, I mostly looked at the original Chinese title. It seems like there are two different Chinese versions, one that's 202 pages and one that is 484 pages. It's possible that all the translations include different stories on top of the main story of "1942".

An educated guess would be that most of the shorter translations are based of the Chinese book with 202 pages, but where that leaves the English editions with ~300 pages I have no idea.

Thanks Tina!
Although these two Chinese editions have the same title, but they could be different. Anyway I think we need more search or someone who knows, to determine which editions must be combined and which must be separated.

Michael Fuchs | 10 comments I've just created this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

through the "Add a new Edition" button.

Then I was told the book's ISDN is already taken by another entry, this one here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

However, that one has no cover image, has only the english description, and does not state that it's a hardcover.

Please help me resolve this. I'm new to this, so if you have helpful tips for a different way of going on about this kind of problem, let me know, thanks!

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #807 added data to the edition with ISBN, duplicated edition merged

Next time please search by ISBN before adding a new edition.
If any data are missing you can request edits in this group.

Phillip Murrell | 26 comments Only my Kindle copy shows up on Goodreads. I would like my paperback edition combined.l with it. Its ISBN is 1981002952. Also, would it be possible to have the title written as “Sleepers and Scouts (Bystanders #3)?” This way it will match how the second book was listed. Thank you.

Bystanders III Sleepers and Scouts by Phillip Murrell
