Looks good, Brenda! Yes, it was a bit messy - probably made all the worse by having more than one author. But I can't believe that 3 people missed that there was already an edition (or editions) in the system and created a new entry! Of course, when you type in "On This Holy Night" and search, you do get 8 pages of entries and I didn't check all of them myself, but all of these were on the first 2 or 3 pages!!Thanks for that!

The combine feature can be pretty confusing when you have a lot of different subtle variations of the same book.
Good morning, librarians. I was in the process of adding a new edition of a Phryne Fisher, Murder in the Dark, because the edition I am about to start reading (e-book with the cover photo from the TV series and the ISBN listed in my ebook) is not there. However, when I type in the ISBN listed in the ebook, it is in the system as a paperback. And it is listed as a paperback on the Allen & Unwin site.Do ebooks get the same ISBNs as paper copies? I guess in this case I'll either just use the paperback edition or the ebook that has the right photo but the wrong ISBN, but thought it seemed strange. Or is this normal?
Oh and would someone mind adding the cover image from here: https://library.moretonbay.qld.gov.au... to More Cloak Than Dagger: One Woman's Career in Secret Intelligence?Thanks in advance!
Hi Librarians. I am reading this:http://www.abebooks.com/9780752849638...
Could it please be added? The isbn that I am reading is the 07 one. Page count 478. This image isn't on here as yet.
Many thanks for your great help!

You didn't give me the ISBN Kathryn? Is it the same as the link you have given, and is the cover pic the same as well?
No all ISBNs and ASINs are different...
Mod
Done:)

This one was already in the system when I searched for the ISBN Suzanne:) But, the cover image is different to what you linked!
Please let me know if the one in your link is the one you're reading and I'll set up an alternate edition for you:)
Mod
Thanks - checking now:)

Mod
I've done an alternate edition for you Kathryn - Murder in the Dark
I've never known this to happen before (you reading it as an ebook and it being published as a paperback) but this would be the only way around it I suspect. Plus you now have the exact copy to call your own:)

Good morning :)Can anyone confirm for me if this Goodreads author is an Aussie author please? I can't find anything on his profile and would like to include him in my challenges if possible..

Ok thanks for that Brenda. Strange to want to be added as a Goodreads author and then not put any info on his profile page other than his books. I might give it a miss for now.

Hello to the wonderful librarians! Would someone please be able to combine this edition of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... with the rest of the editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...Also, the edition I have has this ISBN: 9780140296709 which is in the GR system, but it isn't the same cover as the one the I have... My cover is the same as this one: https://elibcat.library.brisbane.qld.... Can a book be reprinted with the same ISBN and a different cover?

Try this: https://elibcat.library.brisbane.qld....
or this: https://elibcat.library.brisbane.qld....
Do either of those work? And thanks for combining!
Kathryn wrote: "Brenda wrote: "Kathryn, I've combined in your first part of the question, but was unable to access the library site (I think because I hadn't logged in) - can you find another example of the cover ..."Actually none of those links work when I click on them either!!!

And..."If you click OK, the search page comes up with the title in the box and if you click search, then my book is number 8 in the list. Sorry - a bit more work than when I normally post something like this! I'm sure I've used a direct link to a book on the Brisbane City Council library website for book images before...
