Robert Kloosterhuis (jemimus) | 1 comments These 2 appear to have the same ISBN, but are different editions.

I tried to add the ISBN to the second one but I could not as it was already in use by the first.

Not sure what we do in such cases?

Jessica | 963 comments Since they are both the same publisher, my guess is they just reused the ISBN even though the covers are different. This happens often. Since there's a ton of info in your second entry, just leave it without the ISBN.
