Harcourt Brace & Company Publishing 1998
#3 - There are a couple Hardcover versions with that cover. Are you saying your edition has that ISBN with a hardcover?Just checking because everywhere I find that ISBN listed it is for a paperback version.
Yes, that ISBN with a hardcover.I actually have both the paperback and hardcover with that same ISBN.
I must stop going to used book stores. LOL
Would you like me to post a picture of the 2 books side by side so you can see the thicker hardback cover?
I don't mind doing that.
Just uploaded 5 pictures to my profile.Hope you can tell by those that one is a hardback.
It was harder to do than I thought it would be.

It's not really published as a hardcover.

Should I remove that edition, or mark it in someway then?

The hardback says Harcourt, Inc.
Also small differences in the copyright page.
Can take pictures.

And we only add new editions for those when the cover is different."Thank you very much, rivka, for explaining all of this to me. I'm still learning how things are done here and I hope that I'm not upsetting anyone with so many requests.
rivka,The paperback says Harcourt Brace & Company
The hardback says Harcourt, Inc.
None of the books listed use them for the publisher so which book should I mark as the one I have ?
So it sounds like I should remove the edition I added.
Mod
Absolutely not! :)

I have updated the publisher (confirmed Worldcat) to Harcourt Brace
Mod
The hardback says Harcourt, Inc."
Those are actually the same company. Publishers merge and change names so often it's hard to keep track.
The publisher listed for the paperback was HMH Books for Young Readers. That's Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, because Houghton Mifflin bought Harcourt in 2007. Since that cannot have been the division under which it was published in 1999, and WorldCat lists Harcourt Brace, I was going to correct it -- but I see another librarian got there already. ;)
Thank you all for the help.And, again, I'm sorry if anyone gets annoyed by my posts. I might be through (maybe) half of my massive book collection ... should I just give up now or keep striving forward ?
I'm sure I'm going to need a lot more help. :(

You have been the source of a number of alternate cover editions, as well as uncovering multiple instances of bad cover changes from auto-imports. Your contributions have been invaluable. Just wanted to chime in :)
Thank you Z for your kind words. I'm glad I've done some good here. :)And rivka ... You asked for it. LOL
Many, many more to come.
