What's the best way to correct this?

[Angel]

I haven't been doing much librarian stuff on GR lately, so I'm rusty on the best way to fix some things.

The issue is this entry:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52...

The ISBN listed on that edition is actually the ISBN for the second book in the series, called "Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War" (different cover image too). Amazon actually has the book in correctly (as shown here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url...) which is kind of odd since the record says it was created by Amazon.

What's the best way to fix this so that I don't screw up reviews or people who have it on their shelves? Separate and then change all the relevant info? Separate, delete and recreate?

I would do the following:

1) Separate from the other editions.
2) Go to the book edit page
3) Select "Refresh data from amazon and override existing data"
4) Combine with correct work

Others may have different solutions though...

Othe..."

I'd be concerned that people added it for the title, and would want their editions to transfer right. So I would think to combine it with the edition of the same name (if it's not already), and just delete the edition. Then it'll reimport from Amazon fresh, since it has an ISBN.

True. And it is the most popular edition, which makes it more likely. If that's the case, I beleive a super-librarian will have to do it.

I take that back. It worked! Deleted and re-added, combined with correct work.

Thank you rivka.
