One of the two ebook editions of The Ministry of Guidance Invites You to Not Stay does not really exist. I've looked and there's no record anywhere of an edition with the ISBN of 1299999034 nor a ISBN-13 of 9781299999039. And it certainly wasn't released on Jan. 1, 2013, if it did exist.

The book is located at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Can we just delete it?

I've just done a Google search for the ISBN, and it appears that the ISBN belongs to a completely different book:

But it's not unusual for ISBNs to be reused in this way and just because there's no record of a book now doesn't mean that it didn't ever exist.

But, on the other hand, it has only been added by one person... Therefore I'll wait for a super or above to come along and decide on this.
