Duplicated ISBN?

I found As Artes de Curar on worldcat, open library and google books with the ISBN 8574600032. What's really weird is that if I search that ISBN on GR, it comes up with the book you linked to...I'd wait for someone with more experience to chime in on what should be done.

This is NOT what usually happens in such cases; usually we create an alternate-cover edition (second type).
So, I should go to Artes de Curar, change the ISBN to 8574600032 (which Dori indicated) and then introduce Aradia with the correct ISBN?

Ok! Thank you very very much for all your help, really! :)

Ugh, it's not just Harlequin that reuses ISBNs, apparently. The back cover of my edition of The Lonely Crowd, Yale University Press, a sociology classic, has the same ISBN as Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O'Neill. Inside are two additional ISBNs - the paperback ISBN is shared by both the full length Lonely Crowd, and the abridged edition.
I own an edition of "Aradia: The Gospel of Witches" that isn't on the website, so I decided to add it.
First I searched with the ISBN to be completely sure it wasn't already on Goodreads and well... another book came up that has nothing to do with the one I own.
As Artes de Curar
I've tried googling the book in question, trying to make sure that the ISBN on the page was correct but I can't seem to find the ISBN anywhere.
What should I do?
