Sylvia (sylviahartstra) | 90 comments I own the book mentioned above, but I was amazed when putting the book on my shelf it came up with a different cover. I wonder how that is possible. I have checked the ISBN number twice. There is no other edition of the book.

My question : Can a different Cover be added as another edition, or is that not good practice , because as the ISBN is the same, we're talking about the same book, aren't we?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments It is possible for the same ISBN to be re used for different printings and editions. Both worldcat and barnes and noble have the GR cover beige and blue.

You can add an alternate cover edition

Sylvia (sylviahartstra) | 90 comments Thanks for the quick answer. I have a look at the help item, but I have to apply to become a librarian, before I can make a new entry.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments if you post a link to the cover then we can add for you


Sylvia (sylviahartstra) | 90 comments I can make a scan of the cover and upload to a folder on my own website, but that upload isn't a permanent link, so you have to copy the imaage and store it op de goodreads-site. Is that OK with you?

Sylvia (sylviahartstra) | 90 comments Paula, thank you for your help.

Here's the link where I stored the image of my cover and I added some information about the book, so you can check if it's really the same book, we're talking about
