Judio | 4 comments I am adding a new book to my shelf which I have not been able to find on Goodreads. However, the ISBN number comes up on the site against a different book title 9"Old Mac Donalds Farm". 9780710503688). I know that this is incorrect since I have a physical copy of the book I am adding: A Big Time Wonder Book: The Little Fire Engine. How can this be corrected? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. For now I will hold off adding the book (The Little Fire Engine) as I wait for suggestions.

Many thanks.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Sadly, ISBNs sometimes get re-used, though they're not supposed to. You can add the book, but leave the ISBN spaces blank and then re-post here and we'll put in Librarian Notes explaining that the ISBN was used on another book and making sure nobody tries to change it.

Judio | 4 comments Okay thanks, Abcdarian.

I didn't know that about ISBN's being re-used. It was my impression that they are unique numbers. What a nuisance.

I'll add the book without an ISBN as you suggest and then add a comment here when done so that notes can be put in.

Thank you again.

Judio | 4 comments I've registered the book without the ISBN but with the cover picture. It's titled
The Little Fire Engine (A Big Time Wonder Book Read-With-Me). Illustrated by Vic Havel. How do I request a note to be added?

Judio | 4 comments Thank you, Amerdale and Abcdarian. Sorry for the late reply but the notification was lost among some spam so I've only just seen it.
