ISBN13: 9780976330608, CthulhuTech. I have the same book, but with different ISBN13 (9781906103866). Both ISBN's are valid, there doesn't seem to be any difference between editions (same cover art, publisher, cover, etc.).

Should I create an alternate edition for my ISBN and merge it with the existing one?

Lisa, that's only when the ISBNs are the same. In this case, they are not.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Duh, I obviously did not read the question with my full mind. I did know that. Thanks for posting the correct information Rivka.
