Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Good morning,

This edition of Thomas Harris "Hannibal" has a wrong cover image: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

While it is the 6CD edition, the cover image says "5 CD" in the top right corner.

Best regards,
Seb.

Martin | 35262 comments It doesn't look as though '6 CD' should be part of the title, could that be the error?


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Absolutely.

Martin | 35262 comments I have corrected the title.
If this set was issued as bot 5 and 6 disc set at different times the 6 disc can be added as an alternate cover edition when somebody provides a source.


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments In that case, the 5 disk version should be added separately, because the current metadata (ISBN etc.) is that of the 6 disk version.
Only the cover image is wrong.


message 6: by Martin (new)

Martin | 35262 comments The ISBN will be correct as all details and image were imported automatically from Amazon.
If there is a 6 disc version that is more likely the later reissue.

As it stands all I have done is corrected the title by removing something that should not be included.


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Do you really think I would have submitted my request if I didn’t own the 6-disk version?
The data was correct. It even said 6 disks before you deleted it.
Only the image was wrong.

Martin | 35262 comments I had no way of knowing that, and no reason to assume it.
The title is now correct, it should not have included the additional text.

If you provide details of ISBN, date of issue and a cover image for the 6 disc edition I will add it as an alternate cover edition.


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Ok. For the record, I still think that this is not the right approach. There are a lot of wrong images on Amazon, esp. some that were never updated between publishers' announcements and actual release.
But you are the librarian.

Martin | 35262 comments Are you able to scan or photograph the front of your own copy?
The image on Amazon and AbeBooks isn't legible and could even be the 5 disc edition as the number cannot be read


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments I don't think that is any real option, as my copy is a previous Library copy and has stickers on it.

You can see it here:

Martin | 35262 comments We could use that if you are willing to provide an image, you could upload to your profile images and we can take it from there.
I will add the listing now and then provide a link, if you already show ownership it's a simple matter to change it to the new one.

To switch edition just click button to right of newly added edition here https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Is date of issue stated somewhere on the set? I can only see copyright date in images on Discogs.


Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Ok. - I added it to my profile images:

Sebastian (blackburn) | 113 comments Good point re. Publication date.
The release indeed only states the copyright date.
