you can get one from the other here: https://www.loc.gov/publish/pcn/isbnc...

when you want to enter another edition of a work already in the database ("Romeo and Juliet" in this case), it is more convenient and makes you save time if you go to the page of another edition (like https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... ) and click "add a new edition".
Then you enter your ediion's data and click "save", and the new book will be automatically combined with the others.

With this book you created, don't worry, I will combine it for you (only users that are "librarians" can)

Moloch | 3975 comments your edition is combining with the others, you should see everything ok in a few minutes

Matteo | 9 comments Thank you very much! I was already worried I had broken this site. I see that you added a cover too!
Just another question, do I have to ask librarians to add book covers or can I do it too? I added this book version on mobile and didn’t see where to upload a photo of the book

Moloch | 3975 comments If you use the computer you can add the cover image yourself, but in any case you can just ask a librarian in this group, it's no problem. Just provide a link to the Amazon page with the image.
