I came to Goodreads to add my latest book. However, I discovered that Goodreads somehow already added my book, presumably found at Amazon. I tried to update the incomplete information about my book, including adding the ISBN #'s, and got an error message saying another book (with the same title) already had those ISBN's. Therefore, the Goodreads system would not let me update anything, including uploading the cover image. How can this be fixed, please? Book in question: BOOK OF NU by D. A. Metrov

In this case, I've found the ISBN on Amazon; corrected author name, and combined with other editions. https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
There are 2 pbk editions listed; one with an ISBN, one without. They have 2 different publishers, Lightmasters Arts & Entertainment and Createspace. Were there 2 pbk editions published, and if so, is there an ISBN for the Lightmasters edition?
The version Goodreads found on it's own says "Createspace" version. However, the interior of my book says, "Lightmasters" edition, the latter being my company. They are all the same edition!ISBN-10: 1540436969
ISBN-13: 978-1540436962
However, Amazon also offers the same edition as a Kindle book, so that may have a different ISBN. Thanks for the help. Please let me know what else you might need from me.

Okay; I'm going to merge the edition without the ISBN, so we'll be left with the 1 pbk edition and 1 Kindle edition; those are added with an ASIN, rather than an ISBN, and that has already been added.
