Daniel (chipsa19) | 4 comments I'm trying to add Ħrejjef mis-Slovakkja by Immanuel Mifsud published in 2011 by Klabb Kotba Malting with ISBN 9789993273851 but I'm getting a system warning that the ISBN is already in use for another book. Can you please check this issue?

Let me know if I can be of any further help.

Thanks and regards,
Daniel.

Z-squared | 8575 comments This is a common problem, as ISBNs occasionally get reused. When this happens, we create what's called an alternate cover edition. The Goodreads database is limited in that only one book record can be associated with a given ISBN. Therefore ACEs don't have anything in the ISBN field. Instead, we put the reused ISBN in the book description field.

I have created an ACE for your book here:

I was able to find the publisher's site and fill in most of the information, but you may want to check what I've created for accuracy.
