Okay, I'm new at this. I found a book where it has an ISBN 10 and an ISBN 13 but their listed as different editions. What should I do? Thanks for answering my stupid question! :)

Is it one book that has an incorrect pair of ISBNs? Or two books that have matching ISBNs?
The ISBNS are the same until the 3 extra letters. Should I delete the extra edition and edit the book's data or just combine the books or just leave them be?
Can you link the books? It might be easier to figure out the problem!
Copyrights... do you NEED one? How do you get one?Cost?

In the Other Editions folder one of the Books has an ISBN 13 but is listed as a different edition that the one with the ISBN 10 edition. Other than the 3 extra numbers they are the same edition.
Sorry to be a bother!

You're not a bother, I just didn't want to give you wrong information!It looks like this is a case where someone added an edition and tried to put the ISBN13 in the ISBN10 box, which cuts off the last 3 numbers.
It needs to be merged with the correct edition, which adds the reviews and shelves associated with the "wrong" book, adds them to the "right" book and deletes the wrong one.
Unfortunately, in this case, the "wrong" edition has too many editions to be merged by a regular librarian, so you can post in the Please Delete This Book thread and a super-librarian will get it.
If you come across this again and the "wrong" book has 5 or less reviews, this section of the Librarian Manual will walk you through merging them. :)

Susan, that isn't an appropriate question for the Librarians Group. None of us would know.I suggest one of the many author groups here at GRs.

Even though you're asking in the wrong group, Susan, I thought I'd send you a message. However, since you aren't accepting messages from anyone, try: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/
