I have this book 'Great Western Railway Gas Turbines', ISBN 0862995418
There is a record for it here
https://www.librarything.com/work/15719810/editions
Yet when I add it, I end up here
https://www.librarything.com/work/27850345/editions/213336942
Which is combined with a clearly unrelated work
https://www.librarything.com/work/3990990
'Henry V and the Southampton plot of 1415'
How to fix? It seems as if some of the catalogue sources are misdirecting the ISBN to the medieval book?

Someone seems to have already helped. For future references, go to the Editions page on your book and look for a separate link next to the line of your book :) Once it is out of the mix, you can either combine via the author page or via the workbench :)
The most likely culprit here is a user not cleaning a mess: They added one book, then edited inside of their catalog to change the title and the author... and never fixed the ISBN or removed the book from the now wrong work.

Yes, that 2nd link seems to have disappeared now.
But this is still pretty broken (the gas turbine wouldn't be invented until the 18th century)

Seems to be a reused ISBN.
Gas turbine book is now at https://www.librarything.com/work/15719810
WorldCat only lists Henry V for that ISBN.
We can only vote on the flagged cover.

>3 Andy_Dingley: Nothing we can do about the user who uploaded this cover to the wrong book :( Cover flagged - that is the best we can do.
You can go to the cover https://www.librarything.com/work/3990990/covers, click on Information for the specific one and vote for its flagging.

Every one of the entries for that book has that ISBN. as does Amazon. I really think it is a reuse case, maybe through a misprint, maybe deliberate.
