I am not sure if this is the correct forum to raise this question, but "Book Issues" seems appropriately general. The eleventh printing of this book (March 2015) is not differentiated from earlier ones as a new edition; the ISBN is the same, the cover is the same, etc. However, this printing, unlike the earlier ones, is digitally remastered, and includes several new pages at the back: an essay on the restoration process and images showing before/after versions of various panels. It also inevitably increases the page count: there are 520 pages in the eleventh printing. What I don't know is how to reflect this. Adding a new edition doesn't seem like the correct thing to do, but the earlier printings have a different page count and lack the additional material, so just changing the listing for the book also seems incorrect. I therefore raise the question for more experienced and wiser heads than mine to consider. Is there a way to fit this unique printing into the Goodreads catalogue?

If it's not yet represented here, then adding an alternate cover edition (via the link on the existing book record) would be the way to go. Something like "remastered" or "expanded edition" could be put in the edition field.
