dan (danchuchie) | 4 comments Hello, this is my first time posting in here so I apologise for any inconveniences or lack of knowledge.

I'm Portuguese and, though I read many books in English, I often also read them in my native language and editions made from my country.

I purchased this book a few months ago from this exact edition, however, the cover is wrong. The cover is from a different Portuguese publishing company that must have gotten the rights before but then it must has changed and now it's from Desassossego.

Every detail in this edition that I chose is right on Goodreads except the cover. It's not an urgent or pressing issue but it'd be well to have it match because it can lead to confusion - especially because there is a book on Goodreads with the correct cover, correct name but with the wrong ISBN and it doesn't link to the rest of the editions of this book.

I'll have the links for each edition I mentioned below so it's easier for anyone solving this problem.

The correct book with the correct details and ISBN but wrong cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The book with the correct cover but wrong ISBN and with no link to the other editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please, let me know if you need any other details or if my explanation is confusing.

Thank you so much!
(Happy New Year, by the way!)

Goodreads listing says paperback but Amazon uses that ISBN for Kindle edition.

Yeah, I noticed that, too! It's the paperback edition

Bruno Rodrigues | 17214 comments Desassossego is a sub-brand of Saída de Emergência Publisher.

About the digital edition:
Saída de Emergência doesn't sell e-books, so it can't be used as source.
But the Kindle edition can:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D...

Also, if we search Google by the ebook ISBN, we find numerous booksellers selling this edition, all with this cover.

So the digital edition should stay as it is.
Well, the Kindle and ebook edition (maybe) should be separated... that's another story.

Bruno Rodrigues | 17214 comments About the paperback edition:
We can see it at the Publisher what is the correct cover of this edition:
https://www.saidadeemergencia.com/pro...

And we can see in Amazon, that the current (wrong) cover is from this edition:
https://www.amazon.com/Persas-grandes...

which already exists in GR:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

and is actually a brazilian edition, not a portuguese one.

So, I'm changing (replacing) the cover, and not creating an ACE:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
