Robert Engle | 76 comments I'm wondering if the different editions of this book can have their own details for not. When originally published it was 4of6; but my 1937 edition is 9of12. There were also changes to what stories were included but I only have the 1937 so can't give details.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 8036 comments Done.

Thank you so much for all the work you did in presenting this invaluable information.

If you can provide a scan or a photograph of your book's cover, we can use that for the cover image. Add the image to the photo section of your profile —https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new — then let us know. We'll copy the image, then you can delete the image from your profile if you wish.


Robert Engle | 76 comments It has the same blue cover as this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... I'm guessing that's Daniel Boone.
Thanks for doing this. I wasn't sure if different editions could be set up with different info.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 8036 comments Absolutely, we can, especially in cases like this where an ISBN has been reused.

Regarding the cover image, unfortunately, we cannot "borrow" a cover image from a different edition. Goodreads has a list of acceptable sources for covers and book data that we must follow. We can also use a reader's own scan or photo (not one copied from another source).
