Emily | 17473 comments There may be two different editions for this ISBN. Worldcat shows for
9780140430752
https://www.worldcat.org/title/old-cu...
and
https://www.worldcat.org/title/old-cu...
Do you think that could be the case?


Halvor (Raknes) | 4771 comments Absolutely, but since they have the same ISBN Goodreads seems to have the policy that they are the same edition and will simply treat them av alternate cover editions provided they have differing front covers, which they will have since these two are issued in different Penguin series.

Emily | 17473 comments I just wanted to make sure. I will come back to it.

Emily | 17473 comments Wanted to check if this is the edition you're referring to, just in case:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


Halvor (Raknes) | 4771 comments No, the correct cover is that of the topic edition.

To make the issue clearer I will quote from the colophon:
_________
Published in the Penguin New English Library 1972
Reprinted 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1984
Reprinted in Penguin Classics 1985, 1986, 1987
-----------

So the topic edition and the edition you linked in message #5 are alternate cover editions.

Emily | 17473 comments That's what I thought after looking at it some more. Thank you for confirming. done


Halvor (Raknes) | 4771 comments And consequently, they should be marked out as ACEs.


message 9: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17473 comments I have marked them.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4771 comments Thank you!
