Sarah M (sarahsomeone) | 85 comments Hi there!

I'm a developer at Goodreads and was generating a list of some of our most reviewed books. I have a list of 29 books that are either missing isbn10/isbn13 numbers or have isbn10 and isbn13's that don't match each other.

I know that many of these are alternate cover versions, so the isbn has been left intentionally blank - no need to fill those in :-)

But the isbn10 and isbn13 mismatches could probably be rectified, and I'm not sure if there are any with missing isbn's that aren't alternate cover versions

The book ids are:

14050
49552
62291
6400090
11505797
10664113
4502877
6131164
13372690
2548866
1923820
31101
35729
231850
7981206
15717943
6101138
13486122
15760001
13548456
30868
6643090
9658936
12751687
8755785
13496084
12716010
17716
16070903

You all are the best :-) There isn't really a rush on this - it just seems good to have the best info possible for some of our most reviewed books!

-Sarah

****ETA: There may be a few in here where my algorithm marked either the isbn10 or isbn13 as invalid for some reason.

29 mismatches is a small list. I think we should be quick with taking care of it.
