Sffgeek | 26 comments I'm sure this must have been covered before, but I can't find it.
I ahve a copy of Werenight (Gerin the Fox #2)by Harry Turtledove. The ISBN inside is 0671722093. But there is a UK price label stuck over the barcode on the cover which gives the ISBN13 as 9781555940386 (=ISBN 1555940382).
Both of these ISBNs have book pages with readers. Is there an approved way of identifying that the two editions are physically the same book? - a comment in the description, perhaps?

Yes, but both ISBN have already been entered as separate editions, and have reviews against them. Can we just combine them?

Jessica | 963 comments AH missed that. Since there are already two entries, I would leave them be. If we delete the sticker one it'll probably just reimport.
