Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments Isaac Asimov's has the same book occurring twice in the database:
The 1000 YEAR PLAN (ACE D-110) by Isaac Asimov The 1000 YEAR PLAN
The 1,000 Year Plan (aka. Foundation) (Foundation, #1)  by Isaac Asimov The 1,000 Year Plan (aka. Foundation) (Foundation, #1)

Could someone please handle this?

Thanks.

Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments Both copies still exist if you look at the editions.
Shouldn't one of them disappear after merging?

James (james_k_bowers) | 151 comments The 1000 Year Plan Now what you have here is information for the 1955 Special Edition D-110 with the image for the 1955 Ace Double Novel D-110 for the "half" containing The 1000-Year Plan. The other half of this Ace Double featured Poul Anderson's No World of Their Own. Asimov's The 1000 Year Plan was released again as D-538 in 1962 using the same cover art in a new cover design - http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I...

The Special Edition (non-double-novel) version sold for 25-cents and says "SPECIAL EDITION" across the blue band at the top of the cover. The Double Novel (printed back-to-back and inverted so that they had two "front covers") sold for 35-cents and says "TWO COMPLETE NOVELS" across the top: http://www.amazon.com/Year-Foundation...

It doesn't appear that one of the two merged records was in fact for the double novel, but I'm not sure on that count; and since the publisher released both a Double Novel AND a Special Edition carrying the same "D-110" designator, I'm sure there could easily be some confusion.

Correct cover can be viewed at http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/6/67... - I will replace GR's incorrect image with the correct one tomorrow (to allow you to compare these two images).

James (james_k_bowers) | 151 comments Said I'd replace the incorrect image tomorrow - but thought I'd best go ahead and get it done before I entirely forgot to do it... Saved the original (incorrect) image on my PC just in case, but it's the same as the The 1000-Year Plan half of the Ace Double:

Thanks, James.
Neither of the originals that were merged indicated that it was a double.
I hope you left a Note so someone doesn't inadvertently combine the double with the single.

Again, thanks for being on top of this.
