Search for 9780990372 in the header to view it. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ISBNs are optional so you can also add this book without an ISBN."

That is not a valid isbn. It is an isbn13, where the last 3 digits are missing because it was put in the isbn10 field.

I've corrected the isbn on the book of the other author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (Isbn13 was already correct, I've added the actual isbn10 instead of the truncated isbn13 that was in the isbn10 field.)

You should be able to add your book now, and please make sure to add the isbn13 into the isbn13 field, without hyphens.
