Joseph (josephuk) | 259 comments Please merge these three editions:

PS.: don't be fooled by the different cover. The blue cover is from another edition, also published by New Directions in the 90s (ISBN 0811211908).

I didn't understand your note about the blue cover edition. Unless that cover is incorrect, that edition can't be merged with the other two. If the cover is incorrect, that needs to be dealt with separately, along with plenty of documentation.

The cover is incorrect, this entry (blue cover) was added without a cover by the "onix norton's bot" before the release. In the same year a librarian added a wrong cover (the one from the 90s edition translated by another author). Some time later another person created another entry, this time with the correct cover but without ISBN. In the next year, one librarian took the ISBN-13 from the edition with the wrong cover and tied it to the correct one.

PS.: sorry for the mess, I hope my text is intelligible, English is only my third language 😅.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments No apology needed, Joseph. I'm impressed with the research you did to trace the changes to these editions. Good job! 🏆

Merge enqueued. 😁
