Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments Librarians! I found some strange books by Edgar Allan Poe (added by amazon bot). Without description and ISBN, reprints of some kind. I'm not sure. They all have active links to amazon.

Renske | 12220 comments Those are second hand editions sold on Amazon. A physical book with only an ASIN is nearly always a second hand item. Also this style of messy titles (before the edits) are a big sign an edition is likely a second hand book (but not always).

Second hand books can be merged into the valid editions of the work or marked invalid.
