Duplicate ISBN

[Ine]

I own a boxed set of the complete works of Shakespeare, which I've manually added today as three separate new books.

The Annotated Shakespeare: Volume I Comedies
The Annotated Shakespeare: Volume II Histories and Poems
The Annotated Shakespeare: Volume III Tragedies and Romances

The problem however is that two of them list the exact same ISBN. The numbers are as following:

Volume I Comedies SECOND EDITION
0 85613 073 7 (boxed set)
0 85613 087 7 (this volume)

Volume II Histories and Poems SECOND EDITION
0 85613 073 7 (boxed set)
0 85613 086 9 (this volume)

Volume III Tragedies and Romances FIRST EDITION
0 85613 073 7 (boxed set)
0 85613 087 7 (this volume) <--- SAME AS VOLUME I

I'm inclined to say that between the first and second edition, the publisher made a mistake in which volume had which ISBN, but since I can't find any other editions, I have no idea how to solve this.

Any ideas? Anyone able to help me out?

Worldcat lists the following ISBNs:

0856130737 9780856130731 - Corresponds to your Boxed
0856130850 9780856130854 - Not listed
0856130869 9780856130861 - Corresponds to your Vol. II
0856130877 9780856130878 - Corresponds to your Vol. I & III

I would suggest that 0856130850 9780856130854 is your missing ISBN, but think record leads me to think that it belongs to Vol. I NOT Vol. III, and that the 0877 ISBN10 belongs to Vol. III. Does that make sense? :)

Will amend for you now. Do you have a photo of the covers for these books?

Also adding an entry for the set as they have a combined ISBN (here).

Thanks for the research Emy! I will try and add the covers as soon as possible, you've been a great help!

I have made photos of all covers, they're in jpg format and about 1.5 mb each. I can make them smaller if needed. How do I get them to the appropriate place?

Then post here to say they are in your photos. It's helpful if you make a note on the image which is which if they're not really obvious. Especially helpful if the librarian is not a native speaker of the language they are dealing with.

Thanks Emy, I've uploaded the images!

Ine, your profile is set to private. Can you give me the direct links as I can't see the "more photos" area of a Private profile.

[Emy]

I can't - maybe a super can access these. Sorry!
