Thank you.

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments it is showing, just under name xx http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... that one.

Kim | 607 comments It is under your profile. Was it originally released as XX?


message 4: by K.H. (new)

K.H. LeMoyne (khlemoyne) | 20 comments Actually, XX was a previous version of the book with a different ISBN and actually different content.

Rebel's Consort was re-written and expanded by a 1/3, re-edited, re-packaged, and released with a new ISBN and new release date(as required by the US Copyright office for books that have a high percentage of modification).

The old version, XX hasn't been available for sale anywhere since July of last year, and I don't have a problem with it still being under the profile, but Rebel's Consort should be reflected separately for readers since it's the only version available.

It is listed under Goodreads because of the feed from Amazon, but it's just not under my profile of books.

Kim | 607 comments I'm pretty sure that those would still be combined under the GR system.

Rebel's Consort was ..."


The wonderful Rivka has already beat me to it. But for that reason alone — "Rebel's Consort was re-written and expanded"... — is exactly what constitutes the books to be combined and stay combined. The combining rules: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...

Added the edition info for all four editions to let users which edition is old and new.
