Unfortunately the above is not a valid isbn and neither was the one added as the isbn 13. For a start it started with 860.

Halvor, whereabouts did that isbn 10 come from?

I'm thinking its really this edition.

All the paperbacks on worldcat for 2009 have that isbn. The other editions for that year appear to be ebooks.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I simply converted the ISBN-13 at https://www.isbn.org/ISBN_converter

Sandra | 31405 comments Well, isbns don't start with 860, usually its 978. So that's where it went wrong :(

I think it needs to be merged with the one with the correct isbn.

Do you have a copy of the book and if so what isbn is it?


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I don't see where that 860 number comes from. The ISBN I added converts to 978-1-300-40013-4, which I suppose was the ISBN I fouind in the ISBN field (which has now been blanked).

Sandra | 31405 comments I took out the isbn that was there, the database said it wasn't valid, then I looked at it and tried it in the isbn search, it was 8601300400136.


message 7: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31405 comments Just checked your original isbn 10 in isbn check and it is valid, but it isn't attached to any book I could find.

WorldCat & various isbn check/search sites don't recognise 9781300400134 as being attached to any books.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Very mysterious! I have no clue, basically.


message 9: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31405 comments OK, I'll refer it to the supers for merging.
