Rachael (dogoodwithbooks) | 52 comments I have been going through GoodReads and I came across a book, Resisting You, where I don't know whether or not to add an ACE for it.

The book (both covers) has the same ASIN and publication date, however, since it is the Kindle version, I can't find information on whether or not these two editions have the same ISBN.

Amazon even has the new cover up as the cover used to show the book. However, I wanted to check in here before I make any edits. If anyone has advice on how I should proceed, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll make an ACE for it now.

Those new covers went live on May 15th 2024, so you could add the correct pub date for the new ACE's instead of leaving the default (and incorrect) date created by the tool (May 1, 2024)
