Not sure if another edition needs to be added or if the info there just needs corrected.
#92 That used to be a valid entry that was cannibalised, for some reason, into another entry that I couldn't verify through an acceptable source.I reverted the changes to that book, cover included, as there was one uploaded before the change. I couldn't independently verify it through an approved source, but it was one uploaded to match the record as it currently is. Current pub. date and format are confirmed by Amazon, pub. year, page #, edition info by WorldCat.
Edwina, your book, whose ISBN and data I could confirm through WorldCat is here:

If you have any information to add, please let me know!
#93 Done. Your book is here:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The record you indicated was in exactly the same situation, but I don't feel really comfortable doing the reverts, so I'll leave it for someone more experienced. The original ISBN did not match yours so I just created yours based off worldcat. As always, any additional information would be appreciated. :)

From back cover:
Marnie couldn't escape from herself...
The Scottish island was remote enough--just the place to recover from her fiance's betrayal and her sister's tragic death. The only trouble was that the neighbors wanted to be neighborly.
Marnie finally had to tell interfering Ewan McNeill that she just wanted to be left alone.
"Okay, lady, have it your way, " he replied coldly. "But you sure aren't going to last long on Culla the way you're going on."
His unsympathetic words made her all the more determined to manage without help--especially his!
This book needs to be noted as an ACE for this ISBN: 0-440-20419-4

#98 Done. That seems to be a valid edition. There was an ISBN change of a user-provided ISBN that was unverifiable. Your book is here:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#99 Done. The record you indicated was like 92 and 93; a valid edition that had been turned into a different one. Like 93, I'm leaving this one for someone who is more experienced.Your book is here:

Fixed the ISBN changes to the book, working on created a new edition with the ISBN that was added to the book. Checked the cover change that had been done, but it was valid since it was just a larger copy of the same cover.
Actually even more screwy, going to do some more research, but looks like the person who uploaded the original cover uploaded the wrong one, and then somebody just bastardized the record to match the cover that had been uploaded.

#102 I read about this the other day, so might as well check it now; is there another number on the spine of the book perhaps? Not an ISBN, but a string of alphanumeric characters.
re 121 Thanks Philip, have you also checked out 92 and 93? I tried to fix 92 properly, and I feel fairly certain it's all right, but I'd very much appreciate a second opinion.
#110 All the 1989 Dell editions on WorldCat share that ISBN, and since you have the book with both that cover and ISBN... Done.
#102 The Touch of Death has these numbers on the spine
75237
Edited to add: This is in reply to #119 from Alex.
I have this book. Everything matches except the ISBN.
My copy has:
ISBN: 0-373-70671-5
186 pages
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Edited to add: This book should not say Americana series. This is a Harlequin Presents edition.

#102/119/124 Ah! Almost had it! That number was the product code (If you notice the ISBN10 of the book you linked 5 last digits minus the last are the same). The first digit would be 0, for the English language group, last was the check digit, that could be automatically calculated, but I couldn't find the three digits for the publisher code (In that example 417 identifies it as a Methuen, or its imprint Magnum). Perhaps because Lancer Books shut down in 1973 they never got around to getting one.In any case, the editions are different,

Could you confirm whether the covers are identical?

Again, this should not say Americana series.
The Americana series of books has the name of States on their book covers. See example below.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
So the Americana titles should read
To Tell the Truth: Oregon or whatever the title and state is.
#131 So sorry to repeat, but your edition even has "First time in Paperback" in the upper left corner? And it wasn't distributed by Lancer, but published?re 130: You wouldn't have happened to have read the Americana series, would you? Because we've been trying to figure out whether Americana is a series or an imprint, so the input of a reader would be great.
Not sure if you want to note this as a Pre ISBN or notbut here is the SBN just in case it should be noted.
SBN: 373-70591-3

#129 Alex, I think you forgot to add the cover to this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Edited to add that I just uploaded a photo of the cover.
re 129/131/133/135: Ah, the covers were different after all; your cover does not have "First Time in Paperback" in the upper left corner. Uploading your image as cover...
#122/128 - 92 looks good, but wow is #93 messed up. I am working on it.93 should be all fixed up now. Along with creating the edition that should have been created instead of modifying on to fit what the person wanted.
Alex, I'm not sure I understand your question.I don't know what imprint means.
Harlequin started their long history of Romance novels with Harlequin Romances, which were very tame (he asks her to marry him and they kiss on the last page) types of romances. Then they started publishing Harlequin Presents which were more touchy-feely but just enough to make Grandma giggle ... not blush.
Then they exploded with Harlequin everything, for instance, Harlequin Blaze are more ... ummm ... spicy.
There is no Americana Series listed on the Harlequin website, not sure where that name came from, maybe a book reviewer thought it up.
From what I've been able to tell is that Harlequin re-issued 50 books written by Janet Daily, 1 set in each state, with new covers and the name of the state they are set in on the front. Just one more way for them to make a quick buck off a very popular author after they have died.
#138 - On the issue of Americana, apparently that was imprint/series that Janet Daily released those books under, before Harlequin re-issued them, so I think Alex was asking if the ones listed as Americana are actually a series, or similar to the way Harlequin calls their books a series.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...This book has SBN:373-70586-7
No ISBN if someone would like to note that.

re 141, this is another bastardized edition, with the added bonus of the original ISBN having been re-added to the database. will take me awhile to untangle it :(

Edwina, I've reverted some changes to that record and merged it with the duplicate that was created after its bastardization. Now the cover I've got for it has a gold medallion in the bottom right corner:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Does your edition have that as well, or is it this cover?

If the latter, can you confirm its publication info? You know the drill: format, page numbers, pub date. Thanks!

Worldcat page count is wrong as they are counting the first chapter of the next book that is included in this book.
