I'm not sure about the ISBN (it can up as a possible error when I was correcting the title); I can't find any mention of it anywhere else but on Goodreads.

The covers are different because each one is showing a different side of the box set. This is an out-of-print edition so you can't find lots of pictures on Amazon or on other acceptable sources by GR.
I know that (non-publisher) bookseller sites are not an "acceptable sources for book covers and other book data" but if you want to see pictures of this edition check this link: https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/M.... You can see clearly both sides of the box and even the ISBN on the bottom left of the second picture. If I'm not allowed to post external links I apologize in advance.

Again, the covers are different because each one is showing a different side of the box set. This time you can check on Amazon.
The 2 entries to be merged were made by the same user and he put the wrong number of pages.

It's exactly the same as this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
(however, the second one doesn't have the ISBN, so please add it)
Thanks!

May need to be NAB'd; according to https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... it has resurfaced.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Because there is already the same book here:

#667-669 done
#670=639 done
#671 done
#672 done, but not into default (different spelling honour vs. honor)
#673 done. Not being able to find it elsewhere is not a reason to delete; however, this edition had the ASIN (Amazon exclusive identifier) in the isbn field instead of the ASIN field.
#674 done; please don't link to edit pages
#675 done. For ebooks only available on Amazon, please use format "Kindle edition".
#676 done
#677=637 done
#677=638 done
#678 the books are all valid editions and only need combining once the author profiles are merged
#679-680 done
#682 working on separating both
#683 done. Please make sure duplicate and valid edition are combined with each other, before making a request.
#684+686 I can't find policy on books with multiple (front)covers, like both sides of a slipcase, or tête-bêche editions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dos-%C3...). Personally, I'm inclined to treat them as alternate cover editions. (The one real duplicate of Os Miseráveis cosac is merged)
#685=641 done
#687 no need to move the isbn. merged the duplicate (without isbn)
#688-690 done
#691-693 done
#694 done; please link to the duplicate instead of the valid edition
#695 done
#697 both links are for the same edition
#700 done
#704 not done, that is a valid edition (with isbn)

When it comes to tête-bêche editions I agree, since one can read only half of the book and want to shelve that specific cover. But in the case of slipcases doesn't make sense to me because the differences between the entries were due to the choices the librarian made when uploaded the cover on GR. Personally, when I register a new edition on GR that has a slipcase I choose to put the image of the box's side in which the book title is. Although it is arbitrary, I don't think it is necessary to make another entry as an ACE showing the other side of the box.

the correct HC seems to be the default
found these on other profile too and as the kindle has quite a lot ratings it may be better to do the combine after the merge.
So recombine with that https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

in your opinion, is it possible to make corrections to those books?

Of course, this book is not hardcover and the last link information is completely false

JOKES, JOKES, JOKES! was erroneously added to my books. Please remove.
Thank you,
