I found this while trying to add a book I just bought using the ISBN from B&N. The description belongs to the book I just bought, but nothing else seems to. The ISBN and description is for an ebook called Snared by Sean Michael. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72...

I'm not sure why it pulls up this other book with a different description. Is it just an ISBN re-use? But then the description is still wrong.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments I removed the description from Snared...I can't find one, so I just deleted. The isbn appears to belong to that one.

Snared doesn't have an ISBN showing...I'm not sure if someone else got to it and fixed it before I did.

Mandy Beyers (mandybeyers) | 3 comments Sorry - yes Snared is the book I bought.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Weird. It looks like it's a reused ISBN. I knew that was too easy. :( I know there's a way to handle this...let me double check...I know we can't use it twice...

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Okay...another question...which copy did you get? The ebook? Barnes & Noble is showing a different isbn for the ebook, on their site...I updated that...is the one you bought a different edition?

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Okay...I'm not sure what's up...It's showing the hardback, paperback, kindle and ebook, all with unique isbn's. When I search for the isbn listed on the first link, it does bring up the Sovereign Risk Analysis.

I corrected Sovereign Risk Analysis, to remove the Snared cover image and the Snared description. Did my convoluted investigation produce the desired result? ::smile::
