Kathy - I found this edition in GR: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... - and it shows a hardcover with 392 pages, but only has a 10-digit ISBN listed, which is 9781401341 - could you check and see if that ISBN also shows up on the edition you have? If so, we can just add the 13-digit ISBN you provided (and the cover) to that record and update it.

Levinia-- My copy only shows the 13 digit.I guess they can be combined?
Mine is hard copy with the exact same cover picture.
I'll do a little research... we're not supposed to make changes unless we're certain they're correct, but if I can find another listing somewhere that shows both ISBNs, we should be fine. I'll let you know.
I put in the 13 number in the search boxat "you know where" and it brought up
the book with both the numbers together.
LOL Excellent. Can't use them as the resource, but what you found means I'll certainly be able to find it somewhere "legit". Thanks!!
Well, this is interesting... even the publisher (Hyperion) doesn't show your ISBN, nor does the Library of Congress nor WorldCat. It's published under a different title (The Collaborator) in England, but the publisher doesn't show an ISBN. A Google search suggests this is a book club edition, and those sometimes have different ISBNs that you can't really find anywhere else, but I'm not sure how to handle those from a librarian standpoint. I'll see if I can hunt it down.
Alright - I had to add it as a new edition; that seems to be the appropriate way to handle it under the circumstances. Here's a link to it: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13....
Thank you for all your trouble---Come to think of it---
I have the same problem with a copy of Anne of Green Gables.
I can't find it on Goodreads.
Not even the cover (and there are so many!)

Description for ISBN 0525246924 from front cover flap{ When PI Amos McGuffin learns that his ex-wife and young daughter have disappeared from their San Francisco apartment, he at first suspects nothing more ominous than an unannounced holiday jaunt. However, when he discovers a yellowed newspaper clipping left behind recounting the senseless killing of his partner years earlier by a crazed German World War II veteran named Otto Kruger, his antennae begin to vibrate - fearfully. And when he learns that Kruger (whom McGuffin put away eighteen years before) was recently released from a hospital for the criminally insane, he realizes that the nightmare of every cop, judge and prosecuting attorney in America has for him suddenly become real. Otto Kruger has kidnapped his ex-wife and daughter and left only an eighteen-year-old newspaper clipping as a ransom note.

"This is one of the best personal records to come out of the War Between the STates and certainly a worthy historical medical record of that bloody struggle. Cumming must have an undisputed place with such other magnificent wormen of her day as Florence Nightingale, Kate Stone, Phoebe Pember, and Clara Barton."
-Journal of the History of Medicine
Scottish-born, Alabama-bred Kate Cumming was one of the first women to offer her services for the care of the South's wounded soldiers. Her detailed journal, first published in 1866, provides a riveting look behind the lines of Civil War action in depicting civilian attitudes, army medical practices, and the administrative workings of the Confederate hospital system.
Description for Except for Me and Thee:(from inside front cover)
These further adventures of Jess and Eliza Birdwell, the beloved hero and heroine of The Friendly Persuasion, are cause for celebration to the millions who have met them in Jessamyn West's memorable book.
Here are those gallant Quakers, young and in love, meeting the challenges of nature and man as the growing family travels westward, then encountering the bitterness and savagery that explode into the Civil War, later guiding their children through the confusing aftermath, and, finally, looking at their world with bittersweet maturity. For all its fascinating differences, their world confronts dilemmas strikingly contemporary - youthful rebellion, racial intolerance, social inequity, and warfare's misery. To each, Miss West brings deep and meaningful insights.
Description for ISBN 0446606456: (from back cover)
Seward Island is a tranquil community in the heart of the Puget Sound. But now, the daughter of a prominent family has been found murdered, her bloodied body rolled into a carpet and thrown into a Dumpster. While the killing sends police on a search for suspects, it takes the people of Seward somewhere else: into their darkest prejudices and their worst fears, and to a very human evil living in their midst.
Description for ISBN 9780061284779:(from back cover)
It seems a routine case for Dr. Bill Brockton, the exhumation of a body to obtain a bone sample for a DNA paternity test. But a shocking discovery awaits Brockton and his colleagues when the coffin is opened: the corpse inside has been horribly violated. The grisly find embroils the Body Farm's founder in a dangerous investigation into a flourishing black market in body parts, as Brockton is recruited for an FBI sting to bring down a postmortem chop shop - using corpses from the Body Farm as bait.
But as he descends deeper into a ghoulish empire on the trail of a ruthless grave robber, Brockton faces a devastating choice that could compromise the investigation and place him in even graver peril. And for the sake of a damaged friend - a medical examiner who has lost his hands - Brockton may be forced to risk his principles, his freedom...and even his life.

I got 378 - 383.Some of the publishing information I left alone, we generally use the most specific imprint when listing publishers on Goodreads.
So for example, 0060583304 was already listed as being published by William Morrow which is an Harper Collins imprint - I left it was William Morrow since that is the most specific.
Actually, Vicky, I noted that info when I was looking for the publisher and date but just did not include it. Thanks for catching that.
