Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments Despite having the same ISBN, the Goodreads entry for At Dawn We Slept does not match the volume in my hands. In checking this out, I find the same data as mine at http://catalog.umd.edu/F/QJ6ULBR8EIJR...

Also, the cover image is different. The Goodreads entry has cover At Dawn We Slept by Gordon W. Prange but mine match the image at http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...

Can anyone explain this? If the old data is incorrect, could someone fix it?

Thanks.

If you look at the Amazon listing, you can see that they have multiple covers. That usually means that when it was reprinted (under the same ISBN), the cover was changed. You can either use this existing edition, with your cover but a different ISBN, or create an alternate cover edition.

Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments Actually, to most closely match the book's data, I would use http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55..., since the only differences are publisher (who is issuing it as rebound for library copy) and cover. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... does not seem to have the correct data.
