If you go to most pop edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... It says "
DUPLICATE ISBN: ISBN10:0880292598 ISBN13:9780880292597" If you look down you see that is already has its own ISBNs and its not them. If you look inside you'll see its using the default edition.

There are a lot of editions to look through and decide whats what.

LOL go ahead make me look bad. :P You got some experience under your belt to make that an easy task. It looked daunting. How did you easily find out which one was the default description edition? Or I guess you could just make a different one the default which seems like it would resolve the problem. I didn't think of that. But also looking at your edits it was just opening a can of worms.

Sandra | 31542 comments I just made a different edition the default. And then only had to remove it from 2. Merged 2 Dutch editions & 2 English.

And as you say, I've got lots of edits under my belt, so a group of 19 titles was easy peasy. Now if you'd picked a group of 40 + I would've taken a lot longer :)
