Adding a new edition for a book

Book Issues would also be good. I always think "adding new books" is for completely new books.At the very least, it should be made clear that it is a new edition of an existing book.
Thanks for your answers!Since I have the book in front of me, I can easily give all the information needed for the new edition of the book to be added (The title, the ISBN, the number of pages, publisher name and publishind date etc...). BUT, will the librarian trust me to post them? I mean, if he needs proof how can I provide it? Even if I post links on some sites like the publisher site or other sites where you can find that book`s info, it will still be hard to check them because obviously, those sites will be in my native language (romanian) and the librarian won`t understand a thing.
The second question is, how can I provide the cover? should I give a link to a google photo of the cover, should I make my own photo of the cover and upload it? or is it another way?
Google isn't acceptable but you can scan or photograph your own copy and upload it to your photos here.
thank you all for your comments!I still have the question about the cover: if the book I want to add is the edition in romanian(my native language), where and how can i provide the image for the cover to be added? because usualy, the books that are translated and published in Romania have different cover image than the original english version.
thanks!
that is good to know. thanks again for your fast and helpful response! have a nice day!
You can also link to the publisher's website showing the cover. It doesn't matter if the website is in a different language, a lot of browsers can auto-translate them to English.
The book I talk about exists on goodreads in english version, but I am reading it in romanian version, and the version released in Romania does not exist yet on goodreads.
Thanks!
