Hi, everyone! I want to add a new book but I discovered the ISBN is taken by another. Perhaps I made this mistake earlier. How do I correct it?

Is it another edition or a completely different book?

Ohhh ok. Well link to the book that needs fixing and give us the correct number, and it can be edited.
Thank you. This is the book that needs fixing. The right ISBN is 9786185424497. Is it normal for the other book to have an ISBN with minus two digits? I'm wondering if there's a mistake on the publisher's site. Please, tell me when I can upload the other book.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It seems to belong to another book by this publisher: https://www.bookworld.gr/gr/book/bkid...
Publishers sometimes make mistakes and use the same ISBN for different books. But since this ISBN does not return any results in Google for the other title, the mistake could also have been made by the person who added the book to Goodreads.
