Adithyan Aj (adithyanaj) | 12 comments I was trying to add The Silence of the Lambs(25th anniversary edition) with ISBN:9781429957656 but the same isbn is used in here The Silence of the Lambs.

Since the 'Edition' field in "Add a New Book" is described as in https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/402.

Should this book be treated as a new edition and added to goodreads or an ACE ?

Emily | 17492 comments The Edition field is where you would write "25th anniversary edition" like in this one:

I just checked and found that this had already been added here(https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) it doesn't have a ISBN that was why couldn't find it.

Emily | 17492 comments Yes, only one copy will have the ISBN, so it can be difficult to locate an alternate cover especially if it is a book with tons of editions! There are sorting features by year etc but all the info is not always there. Glad you found it. I don't see the copy you're referring to but you can make a reference in the description or the librarian note that it is an ACE for the ISBN.

Adithyan Aj (adithyanaj) | 12 comments Sorry, it was the wrong url in the previous post.
This is the book : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

How do i add Librarian note ? I'm not a Goodreads Librarian so i don't think i can add it.
Although i did apply to be a Librarian but havn't received any email regarding it.

Emily | 17492 comments Oh, sorry, I misinterpreted. I've added a note and it was already in the description.
