Irm | 23 comments I want to add a new book from Norman Davies "To and From". It has two volumines and they have the same ISBN number so I can't add it separately to the base (I've just added the fisrt volume) - what should I do? Add it as one book? But it has no sense because they are two.

jenjn79 | 564 comments You can manually add a second book, leaving the ISBN field blank, and adding a note in the description field and the Librarian's Notes area about the issue with the book.

Susan (ofearna) | 48 comments I have two instances of this issue: Chaos! Comics TPB for the first Lady Death Storyline has the same ISBN (on back and copyright page) as their first Evil Ernie TPB... I asked Brian Pulido and he said they were just being lazy

Also, there are two versions of the Image comics Angela TPB (One as Angela and one As Spawn: Angela's Hunt) but they have different material and different covers--just the same ISBN

any ideas?

I would follow the directions Isis gave above for the second book in each case. It's unfortunate when publishers re-use ISBNs, but it does happen sometimes.
