This is definitely the right place to ask! Also, thank you for being so thorough with the information!9781587243226 is the ISBN13 for an ISBN10 of 1587243229, the US hardcover; it looks like that one was printed first, in 2002, and its barcode was reused on all of the other printings. That's probably why the catalog records for all three show 2002 instead of 2003 as well.
Since you have the book in hand and it's clear why the catalog doesn't match your book, I've updated the correct edition with the details you've provided. Does this look correct now?

I have a book that I cam currently reading and I went to add it to my booklist but I'm a bit confused about which ISBN to put it under and I feel that the information for two of the book editions might be incorrect, but I am really not sure. I don't want to make an edit and find I should have added a new edition instead (or indeed, not made any changes at all!) so thought I should check here first.
To clarify things, I've uploaded photos of the back, front and publisher info:

The book is a Large Print edition of The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen. The book I have has THREE ISBN 10 numbers on the back and in the publisher information as so:
U.S. Hardcover ISBN 1-58724-322-9 (Wheeler Hardcover Series)
U.K. Hardcover ISBN 0-7540-1875-X (Windsor Large Print)
U.K. Softcover ISBN 0-7540-9244-5 (Paragon Large Print)
I believe I am reading the U.K. Softcover edition as a) its a softcover, b) it was published in the UK in 2003, and c) on the spine it says "Wheeler Paragon".
If I search for the UK softcover ISBN 10, I get this novel:

However, I believe the ISBN13 is different. The book I have has a barcode of 9781587243226 not 9780754092445.
If I search for 9781587243226 however, I get this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
But on this one, the ISBN10 is different. The listed ISBN10 is 1587243229 (US hardcover ISBN) not 0754092445 (UK softcover).
Neither has the correct publication year of 2003. Neither says it is a Large Print edition.
So, I guess I need to know, is there an error here somewhere? Do I need to add a new edition? or should I just be adding it to mybooks under either of the ISBNs (even though the other is different in each case) and in that case, which one?
