Minnesinger | 74 comments Please add missing pub data to this ebook edition record: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Title: The Bookbinder
Author: Pip Williams
Publisher: Ballantine Books, New York
Publication date: 25 July 2023
Format: Ebook edition
ISBN: 9780593600450
Pages: 446
Publisher URL: https://www.randomhousebooks.com/book...
———-
1. There is no ISBN in this GoodReads ebook record. Please add ISBN 9780593600450, the ISBN stated on the Copyright page of the Ballantine ebook edition and on the publisher website.

2. Please add the publisher URL for this ebook edition:
https://www.randomhousebooks.com/book...

3. As the publication date of this edition (July 25, 2023) is already included in this record, please delete “Expected publication August 1, 2023“. (Note: It looks like this appears in all GR records for Ballantine editions of this title, so it should be deleted in all editions.)

4. The current GR record does not state that (A) this is a first U.S. ebook edition. (See Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data on the Copyright page of Ballentine’s ebook edition: “First edition. | New York: Ballantine Books, 2023.)
Therefore, please add:
(A) Ballentine’s location: New York and
(B) that this edition is the first U.S. ebook edition.

5. Should the reading line “A Novel” be included in the Title field of this U.S. edition since it appears both on the book cover (as seen in cover image) and on the title page of the Ballantine (U.S.) ebook edition? From what I have read on websites concerning this issue, it is typically added by U.S. publishers only, not UK publishers. (It was not added by the original Australian publisher, either.) What is GoodReads policy about this?

Thank you!
