I have this book

https://www.45worlds.com/book/title/so-here-it-is

but my copy has a different ISBN number (it's the Limited Edition version rather than the trade hbk according to the info page). Apart from the ISBN and a logo on the back of the cover it is exactly the same as the version at the URL above as far as I can see.

Does this warrant a new entry or would images and a comment including the ISBN on this page be enough ?

Thanx in advance

I feel it is more useful to add the information on the existing book. Reprints often get a different ISBN, I have a couple here I ought to add.

This isn't a re-print it is the original release which you paid for upfront to finance the printing etc.

An edition with a different ISBN should have an entry of its own.
Actually one I'd like to read; he came into the bookshop once and asked for a particular section. I couldn't believe it, my first 45 was a Slade single!

That is sort of interesting , my local book exchange must have someone who is a reviewer getting books presumably for some paper or journal (print or otherwise) and so have different barcodes at least, as well as "not for publication/sale" and sometimes "uncorrected proofs"

@Pridesale : It varies as to advance editions that booksellers and/or reviewers receive before publication. Sometimes we get what looks like a finished copy, but has markings as an uncorrected proof copy, not for sale. Occasionally it's a trade paperback promoting a new hardcover, which can have a completely different look. 'Unfinished' copies sometimes lack the illustrations or photographs present in a released copy. Vary rarely, I was given a ring bound loose-leaf reading copy of a new hardback. It's changed a fair bit over the years; my earliest advance copy I recall was a Tom Clancy, around 1988, which was a finished paperback printed for airport/overseas sale promoting a book due out in the UK in hardcover.
Incidentally we often gave finished reading copies away to charity, schools or in one case a regular customer used to package up and send out overseas to the forces.
The handing out of books to the public, marked 'advance proof copy' was always prohibited with the companies I've worked for.
