The first edition hardcover of the English translation of The Feast of the Goat has an incorrect publication date. It's listed as 2021, but according to Amazon (https://a.co/d/heGbrjG), this edition was published November 13, 2001. An archived version of the publisher's website from 2003 (https://web.archive.org/web/200308300...) also confirms a November 2001 release date.

The edition publication date is set to 2021 because it's a newer cover version of the ISBN. An older cover version with date in 2001 can be found here:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

The edition you linked is an advance reader's copy edition that was never released to the public. The edition I linked in the OP is the first hardcover edition of the book. There has never been an ACE using this specific ISBN number. This is the first, last, and only edition to be published with the ISBN 9780374154769, and it was published in November 2001, not 2021. As such, could you please change it?
Giving this a bump. The date still needs to be corrected.

When they edited the default date set by the ACE tool (Oct 2023) they simply typo'd the year, 2021 instead 2001. If no one here responds just send your request to support and explain what happened. I've been getting very quick turnaround lately for simple corrections.
Will probably do that, thanks for the tip.
One final bump before I just go to Goodreads support about correcting the date.
