The e-book edition of The Deep by Rivers Solomon (ISBN 9781534439887) is missing its ASIN. It should be 1534439889. The Goodreads bot has been running rampant randomly deleting editions and merging them with ebooks, so adding the ASIN as soon as possible to prevent that merge from happening is important.

"Please keep in mind that as mentioned in this past announcement Goodreads assigns an ASIN to all editions (Kindle, print and other), even if one is not visible on Amazon.
If this doesn't happen, the bot sees the blank spot, assumes there should be another ASIN there, and merges it with either a Kindle edition or an unrelated ASIN created by the bot importing a secondhand Amazon seller.
