B. Morris Allen (bmorrisallen) | 65 comments I wasn't quick enough, and Amazon is getting quicker.
This book entry:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

seems to be based on information from Amazon, and the entry aggregates the paper, ebook, and Kindle ISBNs and ASIN into one. I'm therefore unable to create separate entries for each identifier.
There should be three entries (all with identical information (except for the identifier and format:
ISBN 978-1-64076-278-7 (ebook)
ISBN 978-1-64076-279-4 (paperback)
ASIN B0CQ2KR5NQ (Kindle)

Since I can't create new editions with these identifiers, but Goodreads lists only the Kindle edition, I'm not sure how to resolve this, but hope a librarian can help.

PS If you do, it would also be great to update the default description to make the table of contents a bullet list with three entries (one for each story).

Martina  (martina_s_hlavou_v_knihach) | 11960 comments Unfortunately librarians are not able to change/move ISBN/ASIN numbers that has already been assigned - only staff can do it.

Try contacting them via: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... and ask them to remove those wrongly assigned ISBNs. (You could also create those other editions without using ISBNs and simply ask the staff to move it from one edition to another).

Thank you. I'll do that.
