Melaslithos | 1360 comments This book The Magnificent Ambersons has an ACE:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/037...
The Amazon cover is marked as being published on Sep 14th, 1998 (I also hold it it hand and it's confirmed by what is written in the book).
The cover on GR is written as published on the same day.

So I am not quite sure which cover should have the ISBN?

There is also this edition The Magnificent Ambersons which has the same cover as the one on Amazon, no ISBN, only an ASIN, and with a publishng date of 2020 on Goodreads.

Allt this makes me think that the cover with the chandelier is the most recent one, and therefore should be the one with the ISBN, but I am not certain about that? And I am not quite sure if the cover with the chandelier on GR should be the same as the one published in 1998, so the publishing date might need some change? (I can't find anything with that ASIN anymore, so I don't know how to check the info for that latest cover).

Thanks for any help with that.

Melaslithos | 1360 comments OK, I'll do that. I just wasn't sure if it was needed to add a new edition or just edit the current ones. But I will ask there.

Martin | 35145 comments I got confused by what you are asking, I thought from the title you were asking for an ACE. If you think there should be general edits post in 'book & author page issues'. But remember that only one edition can have the ISBN and it won't always be the most recent.


Melaslithos | 1360 comments Well, I'm not quite sure if the correct way to do this would be to add an ACE or just to edit the current editions. But I realize now that anyways, here is the wrong place for that. I'll ask again in the right thread. Thanks.
