Drace (dracenines) | 7485 comments There are duplicate editions of the current UK paperback edition of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon that need to be merged.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - The edition with the correct ISBN for the current UK paperback (9781841154930). It should be noted, however, that the publication date is incorrect; according to the HarperCollins UK website, it should be January 7, 2008.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - Duplicate edition with no ISBN and a really crappy physical scan of the book as the cover art

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7861 comments Merge in progress. One of the duplicates you cited was actually an ACE; the other, however, was indeed a duplicate.

Since there is such a large quantity of editions involved, the merge will take quite a bit of time. I'm watching it and will recombine when the process is complete.

You may mark this request as "Done."

Thanks for the update.

Which one was the ACE? All three covers are exactly alike, the only difference is the third one has its colors all messed up and washed out because whoever uploaded the cover art took a picture or scan of their personal copy and did a very bad job.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7861 comments Sorry - my bad! I had too many tabs open and got your book's details mixed up with another I was working on.

Neither of your duplicates were ACEs. Both duplicates will be merged into 9781841154930 when the process is complete.

I apologize for my causing this confusion. 🙄
