Drace (dracenines) | 7402 comments Just a quick error re: a duplicate ebook edition.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780141927541, needs to be merged.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12763 comments One of them was a Kindle ACE, set to ebook by bot. The vandalism joke went stale, but it is what it is.

Drace (dracenines) | 7402 comments Got it, although this opens up a whole new can of worms.

The UK Kindle edition of The Haunting of Hill House is ASIN B002RUA4QQ. Right now, that edition on Goodreads has cover art that's a tie-in with the 2018 Netflix adaptation of Hill House. Problem is, that cover art was mistakenly assigned; that Kindle edition has never had Netflix tie-in art, and certainly not in 2020, two years after the show aired. You can check the Internet Archive's history to confirm: https://web.archive.org/web/202500000...

This ACE was created by mistake, never actually existed, and as such the edition linked in this thread's OP needs to be merged with ASIN B002RUA4QQ. The linked edition has the correct cover art; if you want it direct from the source, it's available here: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8... // https://amzn.eu/d/gizFkkZ

David Raz (davidraz) | 12763 comments The can of worms was opened long ago with this bot madness. This bot adding ASINs and changing the format of most ACEs is just another episode in a long series of fits of dementia and delirium. All we can do is pick up a worm here and there and accept that the whole house will always be full of them.

I undid the ACE. We now have only one ACE here. This cover was added in 2013 so it predates the current web archive and may actually be valid.
