PattyMacDotComma | 1173 comments There are three separate listings for what I'm pretty sure is the same book by A.C. Grayling.

The Good Book: A Secular Bible
The Good Book: A Secular Bible
The Good Book: A Secular Bible

I think I've found more with a slightly different name.

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible

Grayling also seems to have two different profiles.
A.C. Grayling and
A C Grayling


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments Merged the two profiles


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments And the professor profile merged too.

You link 3 secular bible ones, but either you doubled one or there are only two of them.

Oops! I missed the most important one, which is:
The Good Book: A Secular Bible

This is the same book but marketed differently.
The Good Book: A Humanist Bible

Both of those have both "Secular" and "Humanist" editions listed (19). The earlier "Secular" one with the orange cover seems to be a revised edition of the same book. Here's the publisher's page about the "Secular" title (on view other formats).

While Wikipedia is only as reliable as those who choose to edit it, I think they've covered it pretty well:

"The Good Book is a book by A. C. Grayling. It was published in March 2011 by Walker & Company (a US imprint of Bloomsbury) with the subtitle A Humanist Bible, and in April 2011 by Bloomsbury with the subtitle A Secular Bible."
. . .

"The Good Book: A Humanist Bible. New York: Walker, 2011. ISBN 978-0-8027-1737-5.
The Good Book: A Secular Bible. London: Bloomsbury, 2011. ISBN 978-0-7475-9960-9.
The Good Book: A Secular Bible. Revised Version. London: Bloomsbury, 2016. ISBN 978-1-4088-7134-8."

I think there is only ONE book, marketed differently in the various formats.

I hope I haven't made it even more confusing! :)

Do I need to start a separate thread?
