Sorry about that! There are several editions I see that don't have covers, so if you can clarify which is the one you own (either ISBN or a direct link), and which cover it is, I'd be happy to add it.

I went to check the change log for that record (always good to see if someone has changed the page #s previously, since imported data is often wrong but if a user enters it I'm more inclined to think it's accurate!) In any case, I found a link to this discussion: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
Long story short, there appear to be 2 different editions of Dune that use the same ISBN, and one has a lot more pages than the other.

My edition is Doubleday with 244 pp. No ISBN as the book was printed in 1977.
What do I do when I post my copy of Dune if it isn't the copy that Goodreads says? Mine isn't the one with 800+ pages. Where would I find a link to mine?Or would it have to be "connected" somehow?
I do want to read my copy and use it for a task.
P.S.Do the appendixes count in the page count?

The edition you originally linked to was previously the 535-page edition, but it appears to have been changed by a librarian who may not have read that other thread (despite there being a note on the edit page). I've gone ahead and changed the page count back, since the 883-page version exists here as an alternate cover edition.
This is a special case since the ISBNs are the same. Someone is bound to change it again and cause confusion, so we can only hope it stays for now!
Yes, goodreads policy is to include appendices in the page count.

I own two books that are on Goodreads, but are missing details (published date, page numbers missing or incorrect). Here are the links on openisbn - Delhi is Not Far:
http://openisbn.com/isbn/0144000954/
The Majors:
http://openisbn.com/isbn/0316279714/
Let me know if you need any other info from the books. Thank you!
Ann A, I took care of the first one, but didn't change the page number because it appears that it had been previously corrected. Could you check with your own copy and tell me if it's 111 or 120 pages? I think someone else got the second one before I did, so both books should be in order now.
And actual pages for my edition are 166 with about 10 pages of the next book afterwards. ISBN0553185063
Please add cover and correct pages.
Can anyone tell me why some books show on my lists as publication date unknown and yet when I click on the book itself there is a publication date showing in the data?Also, how can ISBN 1436243432 show a publication date on my list of 1/23/13 (which has not yet occurred) when I have already read and rated this book and the book entry shows a date of 5/26/11?
Is this a bug? Anyway to correct it?

Looks like the Original Publication Date under "Work Settings" was accidentally set to a future date. The earliest edition of that particular book I could find had a publication date of 11/1/1996, so I've put that in instead. I think that should solve the issue, but if it doesn't you should report it in the Feedback group -- GR can be pretty buggy sometimes!

Concerning the page count of Delhi is Not Far, it has 111 numbered pages and 124 actual pages (including title pages, introduction, etc.) So I guess 124 would be the correct one?
Can I get these combined: A Ripple in Time - Angel of the Titanic and A Ripple in Time? I'm pretty sure they are the kindle and paperback editions of the same book.

Bea, looks like someone got to it... http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2118475.Six_Feet_Under
Bea wrote: "Did post 722 get missed?"Sorry, I had gotten that but forgot to post cause I was investigating the publication date info.

Ann A (message 725): Actually, no. It would be 111 pages according to Goodreads standard. Unless the introductory material is numbered in Arabic numerals, it doesn't add to the page count.Thanks for the accurate info on the book! :)
ISBN 0618101365 has 198pp. Please update GR.
Got message 733.Deanna, you had successfully added some of them to Goodreads, but only a librarian can combine different editions of the same book. Thank you for taking the time to improve GR database!

You are welcome and thank you.
Can't Help Falling In Love still does not show a PB version, tho and GR says that ISBN already exists and is listed as an ebook edition.
Can an ebook be added to goodreads and if so, would someone be kind enough to please add these??I just downloaded 2 ebooks by the same author. Neither book is listed on goodreads but the author is acknowledged here and has another book listed.
Not sure what info is needed but here are the amazon links to the ebooks.

I have added another edition of The Postmistress...much to my chagrin as there are multiples out there - just none with the same ISBN.ISBN13: 9781441725769
This is the cover for it.
Seeing Stars by Vanessa Grant has a pb version available but not on GR. http://openisbn.com/isbn/9780821767788/
UPDATE: I just tried to enter the mm pb version myself so you could just combine them and that isbn comes back to the same title with the author listed as Kensingtons (producer).
I found a few other ebooks that had print versions available but not on GR. I was able to enter them in GR, can you combine the ebook and print editions, please? Thank you.My Liege of Dark Haven and My Liege of Dark Haven

The pb of this last one has the formatting of the series title messed up, too. The series is in brackets instead of parentheses. The page count should also be 122 pages.
ISBN 0394535979 copy of Beloved has only 275pp.Publisher Alfred Knopf, 1987
Please correct page count on GR.
Please add this cover to ISBN: 039701032X Publisher = JB Lippincott 336pp First Hardbound Edition 1974
Please add this cover to:ISBN: 0140056424 Penguin Books 1980 (first published 1979) 279pp
I was looking up a book for the challenge and noticed that Rats, Bats & Vats by Dave Freer and Eric Flint has a cover mixup.When I show the cover for that same book:
I actually get the cover for book two in that series which is The Rats, the Bats & the Ugly. The correct cover for Rats, Bats & Vats is shown over on the right in the 'Other Editions' area of its main page.
Wow nobody has been here in a while. Let me catch up!741 - I PM'd Kim for more information since we can't use Amazon data.
742 - Added cover and combined.
743 - Fixed the Kensingtons mess. Which is the correct cover for this book? The one from Open ISBN or the one on WorldCat?
744 - Added the cover!
745 - Looks like someone had already done the combines, but I cleaned up Shelby's Saviors.
746 - Updated Page Count.
747 - Added Cover.
748 - Added Cover.
749 - Fixed! The wrong cover was from an importer - so if you could double check the rest of the information that would be great! :)
I have a copy of Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence with an ISBN 0553211927, but it does not match the GR book of the same ISBN.My copy has the same publisher (Bantam Classics) but the date is Sept 1985, 416pp and a different cover. It also has an 18p introduction (roman numerals). Can this be added as an alternate? What about the page difference?

For 743, the WorldCat cover is the same basic image but cleaner so I would go with that one. Thank you.

I have this copy of Dune. The cover
photo is the same--- the isbn is the same--
but Goodreads says the page number is
800+ pages.
Admittedly, the print in my copy is
super small--- but the book is only
489 without appendixes--- with them-
535.
Which page number counts?
If it's the 489 I cannot start reading
it early for the Winter Challenge.
Thanks for your help.
