I'm in the middle of adding my books to GR and run into a problem with my edition of Little Women (Wordsworth classics edition). When I searched the database for the ISBN (1853261165) it however was connected to a book containing both Little women and Good wifes (also Wordsworth Classic). I obviously don't want to add that edition to my bookshelf, so what should I do with this problem?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments This happens more than it should given that ISBN's are supposed to be unique.

You should add as per the alternative cover instructions (leaving the ISBN field blank)

In addition: in the description field - Add the ISBN here with a note indicating that the ISBN is in use by another book

Thanks for the help Paula!
I knew there would be some way around this since it isn't as uncommon as it should. Now I can fix that and an other one that I just found.
