If someone would be able to cut and paste into the Goodreads edition above, the back of my copy says:
Miss Quinn liked being left to her own devices - especially at Christmas.
So it was with some foreboding that she agreed to look after her brother's three young children while his wife was in hospital.
However, Miss Quinn soon finds her stern sense of duty undermined by the preparations for Christmas, the infectious enthusiasm of the children and the unexpected arrival of an old flame.
The serenity of "Miss Read's" books, strengthened by a sturdy sense of reality, defies imitation.



Fixed 1912 and 1913. Sorry for the delay Suzanne, for some reason I didn't receive any notification of new posts, not even the little red (2)


Thanks!

Something For Nothing by Andy Muir
No it wasn't there Michael :) And it's set here in Newcastle! I was surprised reading the blurb!

It's a revamp of The Princess Bitchface Syndrome.
Many thanks!
The Princess Bitchface Syndrome 2.0
I'm wondering if I should combine the two Suzanne - they seem to be the same especially with the same cover. But it has the added author name - Elly - at the 2.0 after the title. If it's just a revamp, perhaps it should be... I'm really not sure!

I might just leave them separated Suzanne... if another librarian picks it up and combines them, so be it :)

Pages: 248

I am reading Lord of the Flies. When I type in the ISBN of the book I am reading (9780571191475), I get this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... however the edition I'm reading has this cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and it is that cover shown for that ISBN on Book Depository: https://www.bookdepository.com/Lord-o...
I don't suppose it really matters, but it seems odd. Is it possible to change the cover for the ISBN 9780571191475 to the reddish-orange cover (the one without the words "50th Anniversary edition" on the cover)?
Yes - what usually happens is the book covers are updated so the new book has the same ISBN but a different cover. In this case it's called Alternate cover edition for ISBN **** as it isn't possible to create another book using the same ISBN.
And no we can't "change" the cover - but I can create the alternate edition for you if you'd like?

It is an orange and blue cover with a cottage in the left hand corner roses and a black and white snapshot of a couple kissing on the cover. A very interesting cover.

I'm reading The Idea of Perfection, ISBN: 9781922182470. My edition has 432 pages, with this cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and this blurb:
***************
He was biting his bottom lip in his teeth, hard. She knew, without knowing, that he had grown the moustache to hide behind. It was just what she would have done if she had been born a man.
Patchwork expert Harley Savage has come to Karakarook, population 1374, to establish its heritage museum. Engineer Douglas Cheeseman has come to tear down its beloved heritage bridge. Crippled by self-doubt, weighed down by failed relationships, these awkward individuals might actually be perfect for each other. But will they realise it? Warm, hilarious and affecting, The Idea of Perfection won the Orange Prize and announced Kate Grenville as a major international novelist.
*************
Would someone be able to create an alternate cover edition, please?
Here you go Kathryn :) I put it down as paperback, but let me know if that's wrong won't you.
