Stepan Roh (stepanroh) | 6 comments Hi again.

I have a book which has multiple ISBNs: ISBN-10, ISBN-13 (which is clear that in GR one book can have boths) and US-ISBN which is yet another ISBN-10. Those are not two different editions, because the book is physically just one (I have it on my desk). I guess it should be in GR as two editions anyway, right?

The US-ISBN almost certainly belongs to a different edition, not the one in your hand. The information is provided as additional information.

And yes, each book can have both an ISBN-10 and an ISBN-13 listed.

No, it is not, because I bought it in the US and it has a "sticky note" on the back cover with the US ISBN. I guess they just put different sticky notes with different bar codes on the same book. The book was already entered as two editions so I'll just duplicate the information and leave it as is.

Ok, that's a new one to me. Bizarre, but looks like you have in in hand.
