Robin (ukamerican) | 106 comments This book doesn't seem to be available from these outlets as a printed book with an ISBN, only as an ebook with an ASIN or BN ID, neither of which match the ISBN on either edition listed on GR. If you google the paperback ISBN, literally the only result is for the GR page and if you google the ebook ISBN, there are zero results...so I don't know where these ISBN came from but they are not listed on Amazon or B&N and that's why the links won't work. As a GR librarian, you can add the Kindle and NookBook editions with the correct numbers and then those links to the outlets will work.

The Amazon edition should have an ASIN, and the B&N edition should have a B&N ID (which starts 294 and we currently use the ISBN13 slot for). You'll need to add an additional edition for each of those.

Please also keep in mind that while it is fine to get the ASIN from Amazon's site, we MAY NOT get any B&N IDs from their site. However, the author should have that number, and if they have a link on their site, that link may contain it (within the text of the URL itself), and that would count as getting the information from the author, which is perfectly fine.
