I don't think archive can be used as a source, so, to make it easier, please share photos of your own of your own book (Frobtcover and Edition page, where is Publisher info, Publication date, ISBN, etc)EDIT: Also, this book (with this ISBN) is already in GR, so I need to understand, is this an Alternate Cover Edition, or does the book has an overcoat?
Hi Bruno,I don't have my own. I was reading it from the Internet Archive webiste, they have a lot of old books digitized from physical copies, normaly from public libraries, and allow you to read them from there.
And this one specifically it's not easy to find, so I was reading the edition that they have there.
But now that you mention being a book overcoat/jacket, looks like that in fact it is, I went again to the internet archive website to check the book and going to page 2, it's possible to see that it is a book jacket and it's even possible to see in the digitized image the scotch tape glueing it to the book...
So I don't know if this qualifies as an alternate cover or not...
But if not, no worries, I can just use the edition that's already on goodreads with the other cover.
That's what I think too, that is an overcoat.I was hoping you would have the (pshysical) book so we could clear that out, but, without a valid source to confirm this, I preffer not to mess with the book record, creating an ACE and moving the ISBN.
I'm closing this request then, without action
