I just messed up a book.
I just started reading Jane Eyre. After marking my progress, I was looking around the website and noticed that I could edit the information about the book. Thinking that this would only edit my copy, I updated it to reflect the edition I was reading (a Project Gutenberg eBook). Yikes! It looks like I just overwrote the edition information for everybody! This is definitely not what I intended (I really wanted to create a new edition, I guess). Is there a way to fix my mistake? Also, is there any way to accomplish what I intended to do and create a Project Gutenberg edition?

Inappropriate?It's okay. You can always change it back :) Thankfully the ISBN never changes so you can find the lost data on Amazon. Usually there is a history of changed data but for some reason it didn't get saved (I'm looking into this).
I'm working on accommodating user submitted books. Hopefully soon, I've been crazy busy recently :)

Inappropriate?The best way I've found to add a specific edition is to find it on Amazon and then clicking on the Bookmarklet (I use Safari) to add it to the site. It adds THE book to Readernaut (if it was not available), and even adds it like another edition to the other ones already available (well, in most cases.)
Nathan can correct me if I'm wrong.
I’m confident
