That is true in theory. In practice, authors re-use them, either to game the system or because they don't know better.

Please merge this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Into this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The non ISBN edition (added Nov 2016 to GR) was previously combined with this one: (A collection of works called Lust, Caution) Lust, Caution and Other Stories, this edition was user-added.

However the original ISBN edition was combined with this edition (different title and author): Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

Worldcat has the title Memoirs of a dutiful Daughter but also claims the content is Lust, Caution and four more tales.

No preview on Amazon for this work and reviews are for "Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter".

Penguin quotes the title Lust, Caustion and the description from Worldcat. I wonder if there was an ISBN change before publishing or something?

So recombining is up to you to decide.

Thank you

both the cover photos are not great, that's why the coloring seems a bit different, but it's the same edition. You can replace the cover of the right one with the image here which is better. This edition has no ISBN

This is a radio drama (no ISBN, ASIN, etc.). Am I correct that these get deleted? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Pia]

Hi, I found this book added wrong.
Author's name is incorrect and there's a good entry for the book:

The White City
This is the wrong one that I think should be deleted. Even the author's name is misspelled

The White City: A Novel
Correct entry

Thanks!

[David]

#912 rivka, of course authors reuse ASINs. The point here was that one ASIN was an author ASIN, not a book ASIN. I believe those cannot be reused since that would mean Amazon itself assigns an author an ASIN and then gives it to a book. The same way series ASINs wont be reused as book ASINs.

actually, the true edition is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... it has true ISBN, refers to this site http://ww..."

We can't use info from booksellers, like the links you added, see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...

It is also no proof that the isbn was not re-used. When an isbn is re-used, the isbn can be added to the description, just like an alternate cover edition.

Sorry for posting the bookseller link, I know we can't use info from them to prove a point, I linked it so I could show a picture of the bibliographic record of the book. However, my request is still valid:

ISBN 8501156035 / ISBN-13 9788501156037 belongs to THIS (O Poderoso Chefão) book as you can check on Worldcat HERE.

"O Chefão" doesn't have a ISBN as you can also see on Worldcat HERE.

Even if you don't rely on Worldcat you can see the two books have different translated titles and are from different publishers.

#920 #960 found that only while searching for the different books for the listopia in the amazon reviews and in different forums that most of these GEOlino books seem to be shortened and simplified (which seems logical as they are for children because GEOlino is the childrens magazine of GEO) but most of the books are at the moment combined with their original.
