The Maverick (the_maverick) | 18 comments Here is a photo I took:

Of the cover of this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

The copyright page specifies "1st printing December 1969" so the Jan. 1969 publication date needs to be changed.

The last numbered page is 126, but there is a photo on the facing unnumbered page. Not sure if that merits listing this as 127 or 128 page book, or if the protocol is to just use the last numbered page. In light of the date error in the listing, figured I should mention this as well.

Thanks!

It is a Scholastic book. No ISBN anywhere. Here are a couple more photos for reference:

An additional note - browsing the author's page I found what appear to be three duplicate entries for this same book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Martin | 35846 comments If the book has no ISBN it is not the edition you linked to.
I have added your image to a different edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thanks!

Could that be GIGO data lifted from Amazon? That edition entry has the author's name wrong, and the publication date is wrong because the first Scholastic edition was Dec 1969 as reflected on the copyright page of the edition I own. No sign of an edition marked with an ISBN anywhere that I can find online.

Martin | 35846 comments January 1 is just a default date that sometimes appears, that can be ignored.
Sometimes later editions only show original publication year and this is incorrectly entered as date of issue by resellers on Amazon.
If you cannot find an edition with that ISBN we cannot add a cover so should leave it as it is.
