tripu | 4 comments I have a physical copy of

https://edicionescamelot.quares.es/ap...

with ISBN 9788494328053 (I can confirm it's the same ISBN printed on the physical book, too).

The book is not on the DB, so I tried to import it. But I can't, because there's a different book already with the same ISBN: Trilogia de cuentos infantiles para el alma.

It seems that it's not an error on Goodreads, but actually a clashing of two books sharing the same ISBN. Here's the other one:

https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/978849432...

What can we do? Can we add one of them without the ISBN, or somehow tweak the ISBNs appending “a” and “b”, or something like that, so that both books can exist on Goodreads…?

Thank you!

David Raz (davidraz) | 13314 comments I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. No harm done, as I seem to have overwritten all the fields, but that's quite a dangerous bot behavior.
