David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments I'm not sure I understand why ASIN B088PKL3XZ is incorrect. I see it was added by the Amazon bot and the author edited that edition and even asked for a cover to be added. The ASIN does not exist now but it could have existed in the past.

Is there anything else suggesting it is incorrect?

Hi David, that’s my bad. I didn’t notice the bot (actually i didn’t know it existed) and since the two editions are two kindle with same informations like the expecting publication date, I’ve mistakenly assumed it was manually added with an incorrection. I’m really sorry! Won’t happen again.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments No problem, I don't think this information is visible to non-librarians, is it?

From desktop view, I can’t see any information on the bot or notice some difference between this book page and other ones, so I don’t think it is visible

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments You need to look at the Librarian Changelog which is available to librarians from the book edit page. Then, if you click on "this edition" you will see what edits were made and what is the source of the ASIN.

Marcie | 155 comments I sincerely had no idea about it, I’ve been a librarian for just a few days, I’ll put way more attention from now on. Thank you very much for your explanation!
