Hi!

Please merge

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

The editions are:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... — incorrect ISBN, shelved 17 times
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... — correct ISBN, shelved 0 times

The covers are the same; the only difference is the exposure/filter in the images. There were no other editions published. Back in 2010, Ukrainian books were much harder to find, so high-quality cover images were often unavailable.

You can verify the correct ISBN from the back cover shown here (this is not the publisher's website, but it is one of the most popular bookstores in Ukraine):

Thank you!

The 'incorrect' ISBN is added by Goodreads, so it comes from somewhere. This is not enough information to know if it never has been a valid edition.

ISBN 9789660357228 is for Покохати вiдьму by Костянтин Когтянц.
You can google it for checking. Or do I need to make a photo with this two books? If yes, ok, I will try to find them in libraries.

Vesna, that would mean the editions cannot be merged, since they are different books.

9789660357228 was added by a non-librarian in 2013. In November 2024, the bots just added the ISBN 10 / ASIN that matched 9789660357228. That was the month when the bots started assigning visible ASINs to everything.

The books need to be separated and 9789660357228's meta data fixed.

Here is the publisher's page for the book, showing it was released in 2013:
