Both Amazon and Worldcat list that ISBN as a DVD- https://www.amazon.com/Why-You-Are-Wh..., http://www.worldcat.org/title/why-you....
The audio CD on amazon is for ISBN 1629975087.The listing for the DVD is ISBN 1629975079. The ISBN13 is 978-1629975078, which may also have been confusing.

Thanks to you and Cassandra. Sorry about my error. My other remarks about characterization of the lecturer as "actor" and publisher as "director" remain. Maybe you could fix that?
DVD's should not be in the database, so I have marked it as Not A Book (i.e NABbed).The one without information may not have format, but it has a page count, which implies a physical book. My guess --it's the coursebook that accompanies the DVD. These are also usually deleted, but since I can't prove that it hasn't got its own ISBN out there somewhere, not sure if I should proceed with this.

Thanks lethe!
ETA: To be clear, the edition without format should remain as is, though addition of a format would be ideal.

The former does not give the format or a unique identifier, while the latter gives an ISBN but labels it as a DVD (which it is not) )and lists the narrator as an "actor" (he is the professor) and the publisher as "director". Amazon.com lists two items with this title, one, an "audio CD" version with the ISBN of #2 above, while the other is listed as an "audiobook" with ASIN B07944J7LP. It is listed on audible.com with ASIN B07946LTV5. It could perhaps be identified with item #1 above. Please revise accordingly.
