It looks like on both books author and title have been incorrectly changed, so isbn and title/author are not matching.
ISBN 9029560045 is a Dutch ISBN (starting with 90). Worldcat confirms this is the ISBN of Een vederlichte wanhoop.
What should i do? Undo all changes? Person who did the changes does have a private profile.

Sandra | 31525 comments It is obviously the wrong ISBNs.

In her review of the welsh poetry book she states she has owned it for decades and re-reads it often. WorldCat has totally different numbers for it, so not sure where she went wrong.

The only way to contact her if she is totally private is to contact support and let them get in touch with her.

Otherwise, a super may jump in and advise whether you should just fix it.

It looks like the two books have basically been swapped during a single editing session and she is the only person to have shelved either book. Asking support for help is always OK.

She looks to have edited existing books so I wonder if she was a librarian at the time?

PS. I've added a cover to the Welsh book.

Those changes are made the end of January last year, so something during the data rescue?

The books that got de-Amazoned ended up with all fields empty and a load of Unknowns. These two seem to have been valid books with titles and publishers.
