Not deleted. I've replaced the description with a more appropriate version and reverted your deletion of the ISBN and the cover. You should not delete them.

Stacy Stutz (Lively) | 5 comments My mistake on this one - I saw the description was a review and thought delete.

But I've come across a few ISBN mistakes - specifically, they are wrong. Shouldn't we delete those after doing a Google search? My thinking is better no ISBN than a wrong one.

Just because you cannot find an ISBN elsewhere does NOT necessarily mean the ISBN is incorrect.

If the check digit doesn't work, that might be an indication of a problem. But in general, unless you are absolutely sure that an ISBN is completely wrong, do not remove it.

You can always start a thread in this group looking for assistance.

Banjomike | 5166 comments The ISBN on this one, 0755320093, does seem to be OK. It passes the checksum test and points to a valid edition of the title in question.

I did notice this one:

Stacy Stutz (Lively) | 5 comments OK, thanks.

Stacy Stutz (Lively) | 5 comments Not sure what that link was to - it comes up with "author not found"

I knew the ISBN was correct for the title - it was just the fact it was a review that threw me. The book has 26 different "editions"...
