Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20401 comments Author, publisher, publ. date, page count, format and description corrected as per WorldCat's info ( https://search.worldcat.org/nl/title/... ) and OP's request.

Unable to insert ISBN-10: 0440302978 and ISBN-13: 9780440302971 (fields unaccessible).

OP's cover not added; no verification/validation available (and it differs from the one shown on WorldCat, although that one cannot be used).

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments The pre-ISBN is on the cover. The ISBN was either not present or added afterwards. I added it as an ACE without moving the ISBN, leaving it on the supposedly newer edition: American Short Story: Volume 2. You'll note I added another, even earlier edition from Abe (see the cover price) and added all the contributing authors to all editions.
