This is something I've been wondering for a while...

When you rate a book, does the system apply your rating to just the ISBN number of the book you read? Or does it accumulate ratings from all different bindings/ISBNs to the title?

There've been a few books I've read lately that I just can't believe I'm the first one to read and rate. I mean, I know the ratings system is only a fairly recent feature, but still... there's still several books on my reminder/TBR pile with no ratings yet. And they're not too unusual!

Just throwing my question out there...

It only applies it to that ISBN.

• Blue stars--Allow you to see what the Club rating of a book is.
  • Blue stars are the average rating of all members in the club who have rated this book.
  • Put your cursor over the blue stars on a book listing to see the stars turn yellow, and assign your rating.

• Yellow stars--Allow you to rate a book from 1 (Hate it) to 5 (Love it) stars.  
  • Yellow stars are your rating of a book.
  • You can click the number of stars you want to assign a book you have read, on the Book Details page, on your bookshelf,  or on your other  lists.
  • You can clear your rating by clicking the .

Mary, that makes sense, because there's some books that are impossible that nobody's read before me!

Yeah, it can be a pain if there are 1,000 versions of a book you've read (think "Bridget Jones' Diary" or something) and you have to redo the stars everytime you see it somewhere!
