A: Is there a reason to merge into A1 instead of this more popular version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

B: This one was shelved just 3 times so you could have done it yourself, or is there some other limitation preventing it? Just wanted to know, I went ahead and queued it.

C-E: Queued

F: Shelved only 4 times. Queued

G-H: Queued

I: Indeed, ISBN 0533029738 which is currently on I2 is invalid. However, there is nothing I can do about it. You will need to contact support and ask them to correct the ISBN.

As for I1, it uses a valid ISBN 0553029738 so there is nothing that needs to (or can) be done about it.

#A The reason is the publication date, but basically it's the same thing.

#B, F What's the best way to figure out how many times the book has been shelved? I look in "book statistics" and then "just this edition", but sometimes I cannot merge anyway. I have not tried in these cases though.

#I I thought it was the same book, of which #I2 with invalid ISBN
