Different editions and translations
Hi.
I understand you are in the process of merging different editions of the same books.
Is there a way to add a new cover/ISBN code to an existing entry?
It would be great if we could edit it and just enter a new ISBN code and upload the image...
And what about translations? A bad translation can kill a book, so they probably should be considered as different titles. But again it would be great to have a link to the main book.
Thanks.
Stefano

Inappropriate?Hi Stefano,
We are currently in the process of building functionality that should satisfy your first request (add a new edition to an existing work,add ISBN, cover etc).
As for the translations issue I think that these likely should be considered editions, but that determination is not set in stone. What do you think?

Inappropriate?Hi, Adam.
Thank you for your answer. Looks like the new functionality will deliver exactly what I was looking for... great!
As for translations... like I said, mixing reviews for a great book and a bad translation could be misleading, but in the end it's probably the right thing to do. Maybe you could provide an attribute for the language for foreign editions (I'm not sure the ISBN country code is always reliable).
Thank you again.
Stefano
