Katherine, it sounds like your publisher put out a preliminary notice for this book under the draft title and it was never updated by booksellers. Is this the correct edition list?http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...
yes, that's correct - but can I get Goodreads to delete the draft title?
Was the book not released in hardcover under the Dark Angels title at all? Sometimes a publisher issues a preliminary ISBN for a title but then doesn't use it, so that could be what happened here.
No. It went straight into paperback, and the paperback ISBN is what i've been trying to use!
Okay, since you're sure it wasn't ever published in hardcover, I've separated the bad edition and marked it NOT A BOOK so it won't show up on your author profile. (You might want to talk to someone about getting the record off of Amazon!)The paperback is already listed, by the way.
Oh, right! Thanks so much... it's on AMAZON??? I'll be on to my publisher tomorrow!Thanks - I appreciate your trouble here!
Dark Angels appears to be combined with your book The Shadow Hunt... You don't mention this above so I wanted to check whether this is an error or not before correcting it?
Thanks - it's effectively the same book, but they have different ISBN numbers. 'Dark Angels' is the UK paperback title; but the US edition was entitled 'The Shadow Hunt' (as HarperCollins US didn't like the English title) - and is hardcover.Publishers just like to make things difficult ;-)
Cait, I've asked my editor to ask Amazon to take down the 'Devil's Edge' entry. Many thanks for pointing it out!
Glad to help, and good luck with getting your books sorted out on Amazon! :)
There were problems with the following fields:
* Isbn is taken by an existing book with the title "Dark Angels". Search for 0007214898 in the header to view it. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ISBNs are optional so you can also add this book without an ISBN.
* Isbn13 is taken by an existing book with the title "Dark Angels". Search for 9780007214891 in the header to view it. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ISBNs are optional so you can also add this book without an ISBN.
What can I do? There is NO such book as 'Devil's Edge' and I would like to be able to show the details of 'Dark Angels'. help!
