Literary Multitudes (literary_multitudes) | 18 comments Hi there!

I have another question...
I wanted to add the book "Reading the Vampire Slayer: The New, Updated, Unofficial Guide to Buffy and Angel" to my library.
The book is in the database (with correct ISBN) but with a wrong cover:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...
(The cover is of an old edition.)

There is also an ebook edition of it (this new NEW edition) on goodreads:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...

But both (ebook of NEW edition and paperback of the NEW edition with wrong cover) are combined with an edition of the OLD/FIRST edition.

The problem is that these are two different editions of the book, the new one contains NEW and more material and also has an updated title.
So I do not think that the editions should remain combined. Especially because some reviews are clearly about issues that might have been improved in the second edition.

But can I separate the editions without having reviews remaining with a wrong edition? And what to do then?

I'm also having doubts about uploading a new cover for my edition, as it seems the old wrong cover has been uploaded by a member (not a machine). Should I contact that member?

(For the record, this is the correct edition of the OLD edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29... )


Thank you! :-)

Please create an alternate cover edition if you have a different cover.

Thank you, I will do that then. But isn't it kind of confusing to have the revised edition with a cover and title that belongs to the original edition... as far as I can tell this ISBN was only used for the revised edition.
