I have the Australian ed. with ISBN 0 7322 7236 X. When I try to enter it comes up with a totally different title by Pamela Allen. Think there may have been a typo with the other title.

ISBN's get shared, this one is also shared with

"This ISBN 10 number is also shared with an unrelated book: "The Novice (The Black Magician Trilogy, #2)" by Trudi Canavan (Paperback, 2002 by Voyager)."

What book are you expecting under 0 7322 7236 X

Sorry, should have been clearer. I'm expecting The Novice to come up as that's the one I have. The cover is different to the other editions & wanted to enter the copy I had & came up with the shared ISBN. Not sure what I'll do.

Unfortunately an ISBN can only be used once and it is already in use with the book you find.

You need to add an alternative cover edition of The Novice if the ones currently on GR does not have the same cover.

Add Without the ISBN in the appropriate field, but you can add the ISBN to the description and add a note indicating that it is an alternate cover edition so that no one will delete it
