Could you be a bit more specific? There were some issues with the description, so I switched it to the default. But everything else looks fine -- cover is fine, etc.

I tried to enter the correct edition of my copy of Wyrd Sisters and it didn't exist, however the hardback ISBN (0575043636) is already used.

I have an English release 1st Edition, 3rd impression printed in November 1988.

The listing in goodreads declares itself as Nov. 10th 1989 and uses a different (I assume the U.S.) jacket picture.

There are also several obvious spelling mistakes in the book description that make me cringe.

As I said, I took care of the description.

As for the rest, it sounds like the ISBN was reused. The information here is not incorrect; it simply describes one of two or more editions that use the same ISBN. You may wish to add an alternate-cover edition.

Thanks for the quick response;
I followed the link, however it's to the same 'Add a New Book' page that I already tried, but couldn't use as the ISBN has already been used, how do I add an 'alternate-cover edition'? I can't see any option....
OK, I've got it, leave ISBN blank and then combine the editions to the same book, right?...
Hmm, how do I combine the editions? I can't see the 'Librarian's Note' option that it mentions.

Ah, I have to BE a Librarian...

If you are not a librarian you can always put the alt cover edition information in the description, have one of us add it for you, or apply for the status to do it yourself.

just FYI the librarian notes are only seen by librarians

Thanks, now a librarian, sorted.
