I could probably blur the Blacktown Library sticker if that would be preferable.

That edition already exists, Sarah.

Thanks Sandra - do you think it would be appropriate to merge the titles under the two distinct authors as well as their combined nom de plume? I didn't find the correct edition amongst those listed under author name Boileau-Narcejac, which is how it's presented on the cover and alternatively listed within Goodreads, being a nom de plume adopted for a collaboration between two authors, Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac.
And another one! (I had a successful haul from a couple of secondhand shops today). The edition I purchased doesn't appear within the Goodreads listing for the title, and doesn't come up on ISBN search:Under the Midnight Sky by Anna Romer

Title: Under the Midnight Sky
Author: Anna Romer
ISBN 13: 9781925184457
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Format: Paperback (softcover)
Pages: 413
Date of publication: 2019
Thank you!

That's a tricky one Sarah.
I'm used to seeing surnames standing in for full names on continental books, so didn't think anything of it.
Worldcat has the joint name then the separate names on one main entry then just the separate names on the other main entry.
The author pages shouldn't be merged as they each wrote many books before they met.
But sounds like Vertigo should be under the joint name, and its ok to have the separate names as secondary.
So I'll work on that.

Thanks for your thoughts and hard work, Sandra. That sounds like a logical solution, as the full book listing should really be accessible from either author name, or the combined name they used only for this work.

Please add blurb (from cover) for Quest.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
At fourteen, Katia is chosen to serve her Brother the God at the Sisterhood's great temple in Tenebrak. Once chosen, there is no turning back. But Discord is spreading across the face of Katia's planet, its violence threatening the very existence of the 20,000-year-old Sisterhood.
Far above Tenebrak, Davred, a brilliant young xeno-anthropologist, studies the Sisterhood from the Confex observation satellite. Risking everything, he decides to help the Sisters in their quest against Discord. However, as the quest enters its most critical stage, it becomes clear that neither Davred nor the Sisters know all the secrets of this mysterious planet...
Thanks

Yep, I didn't see that one.

Not sure if our librarians have downloaded the free NetGalley Journal by We Are Bookish but it seems like the isbn they gave is incorrect?Not sure but this: ISBN 1218202300000 is the one from NetGalley but is different to the Goodreads one so my review wouldn’t post.
Just wondering if sks might check it when possible. Thank you 😊

First off, not sure which book & isbn you found here on GR.
And if the new book isn't on GR I can't add it, as we aren't allowed to use NetGalley as a source, unless we personally own it. Which I don't & don't want to :) And also don't know what sks is?
The isbn starting with 121, isn't actually a real isbn. Its basically like an asin for amazon, or 294 for Barnes & Noble, only good for their own platform.
It's an ebook, so if there is an ebook, just use the ebook edition.
For info, from isbn.org:
"The five parts of an ISBN are as follows:
- The current ISBN-13 will be prefixed by "978 or 979"
- Group or country identifier which identifies a national or geographic grouping of publishers;
- Publisher identifier which identifies a particular publisher within a group;
- Title identifier which identifies a particular title or edition of a title;
- Check digit is the single digit at the end of the ISBN which validates the ISBN."

This was the Goodreads book I was referring to, though I suspect it might be different to the one I got. Thanks anyway….

Thanks for letting me know Julie, sks just stumped me :)
And that was one of the books I found, but its a totally different author.
Perhaps this is closer ?: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

The copy I'm reading is identical in all except the title, mine is gold as pictured
Could ..."
Unable to find it anywhere, so I've used the cover you provided Kylie.
Didn't make it the edition with the isbn, as I said, couldn't find it anywhere, so the other edition is the more dominant. Even your own library has the other picture in your catalogue.
