Beorn (bsceadugenga) | 227 comments Both ISBNs are wrong. The ISBN-10 is 1857933370 and the ISBN-13 is 9781857933376.

Also the title is just The Big Book Of Blues. The 'A Biographical Encyclopedia' part of the listed title appears nowhere on the cover, the spine or anywhere else I can see in this edition.

The ISBNs were probably obtained from here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Big-Book-Bl...

and are correct in that regard. Also, the 'A Biographical Encyclopedia' is on the front cover at the very top of the cover art in red lettering.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments There are often several editions of the same book released, sometimes by separate publishers, all with different ISBN nos. The book you are actually looking for is one such instance, but hadn't yet been added to the database... Till now!

The edition of the book you're looking for can be found here: The Big Book of Blues: A Biographical Encyclopedia. As it happens, the subtitle you were referring to appears at the very head of the book cover, so does exist. If, however, you own another edition of this book with the same ISBN but a different cover, then if you provide us with an image of the cover (please see here for info on the permitted sources) we can add the book as an alternate-cover edition.
