Bruno (bpadinha) | 16 comments I own a Dilbert book which is a second print, paperback, by a UK publisher, and has ISBN 075222431X.

I find it on amazon.co.uk (which is where I purchased it from), but I also find a hard-cover US second edition on amazon.com with the same ISBN.

This ISBN is already created in goodreads.com, but some of its data seem to suggest it refers to the US edition. Shall I create a new record, for the UK edition that I own, or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks in advance for your help.

*edit* Maybe it goes without saying, but the ISBN-13 is also the same, 9780752224312. And the US version is listed by amazon.com as Spanish, so it's definitely a different book (mine's in English).

Everything but Amazon.com (including Amazon.uk!) agrees with it being a UK printing.

Imagine. Amazon got a book record wrong! ;P

Bruno (bpadinha) | 16 comments Thanks, I presume I can go ahead and correct the goodreads.com record based on my version then?
