Hi!Under the editions for the book Children Have Got to Be Carefully Taught - https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... - there are two paperbacks listed with two different ISBNS. This is the correct ISBN for the paperback edition - ISBN: 1494956292 (ISBN13: 9781494956295). The correct listing has 2 ratings and the incorrect listing has 9 ratings. Is there anyway to transfer the ratings/reviews from the wrong ISBN listing to the correct listing and then delete the incorrect one? Thanks!

#4- One edition appears to have the truncated ISBN13 for the other pbk edition; however, the covers are slightly different which means they can't be merged. I'll remove the truncated ISBN13 and mark that edition as an alternate cover edition.

The book has only ever had one cover, so I don't know what the alternate cover would be?

If you look closely, they're slightly different. See where it reads "illustrated by" and the illustrator's name, the placement is different on both covers. GR policy is not to merge if there are differences in the covers, no matter how slight.
They are both the same image, but the image is square. So they have each been squished to fit into the rectangular box slightly different, hence the difference you are seeing. I am the publisher for this title, there is only one cover for this book.

The edges are slightly cut off all the way around on the one labelled ACE, including part of the word "Yaar!" I'd vote merge if I had a vote, which I don't. :-)

I'll post in the deletion thread and see what a super has to say, it can't hurt. I was solely going by the placement of the text, it seemed pretty off to me, but more experienced eyes may disagree! Thanks Abcdarian :)

Thanks to both of you for looking into this! :)
Thanks, Emy! Sorry for the extra work with the ACE.
