If the existing book record information is correct just add missing information to the existing record.
This question had become a mess, so I re-edit for your sanity of mind.
I am trying to help a user who asked to add a Frankenstein edition from 1994.
First problem: covers from ISFDB are not allowed, so I asked her to send me a pic of her cover. I guess that's solved.
Second problem: different sources I checked gave different publishers. Solved finding the ISBN on Worldcat, where the publisher is listed as the one suggested by the user.
THIRD AND STILL UNSOLVED PROBLEM: I found a GR record without ISBN nor cover nor ratings, that looks like the one that the user would like to add. Same pages, publisher, year. What should I do? Create another one with the data the user gave me and merge them? Or add ISBN and cover to this one?

Thank you in advance. I have been away from GR librarian work for a long time and now I need a bit of updating...
