Should I add another edition?

Because as far as I could find out it looks like the epub has the ISBN 9781440630927 (we have that edition already in the database: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...) and the pdf has the ISBN 9781436243438 (which doesn't exist yet in the database, so it would have to be added).
My source for this information is the publisher's website: http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/Bo...
If you'd like, I can add the missing edition for you once I get home later this day. But of course you are free to add it yourself, if you want to and I'll then combine it for you with the other editions.
Isabell, I added the library edition last night so it will need to be combined.This is the cover to add:

(Tried to paste image here [using html coding] and it would not work)
Your edition is now combined and the cover added.

Done.
Please add pages to ISBN 0684182548 - 137 pages - and to ISBN 0449910741 - 422 pages.Thanks.

I added the pages to the first one, the second already has that page number assigned.
Looks like someone did both of those!
Isabell wrote: "I added the pages to the first one, the second already has that page number assigned."Oops! When I checked the edition on my SRC Summer shelf, I found that I had selected the wrong edition. I have now corrected it, and the pages are there. Thanks.
ISBN 9780312646288 has only 240 pages + 2 blank pages and an acknowledgement page labeled 243. It does not have 256 by any stretch.

I just added the audiobook edition for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. ISBN 9781781102565. Please combine it with the other editions.
I have a question about covers. Usually I download them and then add them through this thread. However, GR is not letting me do the download function.Can you add a cover from another edition if it is the same?
For example, the Kindle edition of Letters In Cardboard Boxes has the same cover as the book. Could a librarian copy it and add it to the Kindle edition?
If so, then please add the blue cover to the audiobook edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ISBN 9781781102565.
Thanks.
You can take the cover from an edition to add it to another just by saving the cover from one edition and then upload it again for the other.I did that for Letters in Cardboard Boxes.
I also added the cover for the Harry Potter audiobook. While I was at it I also added some other missing information to that edition. The edition had already been combined with the rest, so somebody else seems to have noticed that before me.
Thanks, Isabel. The uploading function was not working when I sent my previous posts.
Can anyone please add the correct cover for this book?Life with the Lid Off. Nicola Hodgkinson
The cover for this edition is not the same as the other edition shown on Goodreads
I added the covers of the last two books, but for the first book there exist several e-book editions. Could you link to the edition to which you need the cover added?
Isabell wrote: "I added the covers of the last two books, but for the first book there exist several e-book editions. Could you link to the edition to which you need the cover added?"Thanks for the help, Isabell. Regarding the Dark Warrior cover, I got that cover from the writer's website. I have not yet read this book as it is still on my TBR list. So I am content to let the book be coverless until I get around to reading it.

I'll gladly add your cover then, when we have a particular edition to which I can attach the cover (sometimes the covers vary between editions and though this doesn't seem to be the case here I'd rather not add the cover to an edition on the basis of pure guessword from my part).

It would really help if you could provide a valid source for the cover (a scan you took yourself or picture from author's/publisher's website would be ideal).
I'll see if I can find a cover, but not knowing what it looks like won't make the task easier.

I did a bit of digging and found another cover (green) at the publisher's website which I have added to the book.
Please let me know should this not be the correct cover (having no idea what the cover is supposed to look like I had to guess).
Could one of the librarians fix this just because it really bugs me? I read WLT: 2a Radio Romance by Garrison Keillor for the challenge a few weeks ago. It is NOT "WLT: 2a Radio Romance," it should just be "WLT: A Radio Romance." I think it's just that edition, but it's a weird anomaly.
According to amazon http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Spell-Tale... this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... has 437 pages not 298 (I've never asked for a change so I'm just assuming that amazon is a valid source?)
Heather wrote: "According to amazon http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Spell-Tale... this book http://www.goodreads.c..."Amazon (or any other reseller) is not a valid source for book data. The best source is always that you yourself have the book in hand and can provide the information from your physical copy. Acceptable is also data that comes from the author or publisher's website or from libraries (I often refer to WorldCat for page numbers, because they are usually quite reliable for that; Amazon often gives a wrong page number).
The additional problem with your book is that it is a Kindle edition and those don't all have actual page numbers. Do you own that Kindle book? If so, you could check in your reading device if it shows the page numbers, if so just let me now the number and I'll add it to the edition. If not, the edition doesn't have a page number and in that case none should be added to the Goodreads entry.

Thank you Isabell - that is the cover for the edition I have. Sorry, I didn't know where to look for it.
I need page numbers for this hardback book I got from the library. I looked it up on Wild Cat and it doesn't show the page number there either.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/94...
214 pages.
Thank you
I added the pages. Since you have the book, would you mind checking it for a publication date (or at least the year) so I can add it to the record as well?
It's strange--It only says:
Jacket Illustration copyright 1994.
Would that be it???
Wait---it says this
PRS5774.18 1995
1st Longmeadow Press Ed.
(There are some spaces between the first number and the
1995)
1995 is probably it. Some of the booksellers had it listed as such, so I'll take your post as official confirmation. :)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...I need the page number for this book.
I bought it used and it has 373 pages.
Thank you.

ISBNs on ebooks are tricky.
Ebooks often share an ISBN with a "dead tree" edition (or pretend to do so, see the end of this post). When doing a general internet search I found quite a few sources linking the ISBN you gave to a paperback edition, while this ebook store lists other ISBNs for the pdf and epub editions (http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/item/978...). We have one ebook edition for Dead Over Heels in the database already, but that shows another ISBN as well (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...).
If you'd like we could add an alternate cover edition for your ebook. Just out of interest, where did you get your ebook from? Those "suppliers" also often list the ISBNs (and those are often not the same of those listed in the ebook, because the ISBNs shown in the book itself are often just the same as the paperback).
