You are right, Bea. It is 160 pages. Can you add the page numbers please? Thanks.

Please add summary for this book.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Amazon has what it says on back cover here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671...
#68 - It looks like that books was released with that ISBN with different page counts.What is the publisher of your edition, because I found one without a cover with that page count but published by Warner instead of Grand Central (They are actually the same company).
If that is your edition I can get a cover added, and the rest of the missing information.
Here it is: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1690610.Wildfire
#70 - We do not just go by what amazon says it is often wrong, since it includes information in the page count that GR does not. Most librarians prefer to verify against WorldCat, but a user with book in-hand is the more trusted source. In this case I think there are multiple versions with different page numbers, so I asked a clarification question.I reverted the page change back to 519, which WorldCat agrees with.
#68 - Actually just found your exact edition. I am making sure it is up to date then will post the link.

Warner Books 2006
Hi Philip, I have the book in hand if you need anymore info.
#78 Done, WorldCat agrees. Also, could you please confirm for me the publication date and whether it is a Mass Market Paperback?
Copyright page says,"First printed in paperback November 1989"
There is no ISBN in this book but there is a SBN373-70629-4
172 pages
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
re 80: Hmm, I'm not sure what to do about that... The Amazon page says that the May 1994 is the reprint edition, and there's an (Mm) designation in the publisher field that's been carried over from the import.
#81 Done, WorldCat agrees.#82 Fixed.
#83 Skipped. Leaving for someone familiar with SBNs and policy regarding them.
#84 Done, WorldCat agrees.#86 Done. No record of page # on Amazon or WorldCat.
I think the same book was entered twice.https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Edited: Oops.. I think the one with the missing ISBN is the book that I have.
ISBN:0-373-10156-2
That book has a note attached to it indicating an ISBN conflict (Not your ISBN, confirmed conflict through WorldCat). Do you have an edition that shares the exact same details with the one linked above (ISBN aside, of course)?
Don't know where they got this ISBN but it's not in my book. SBN: 373-70520-4

re 92: No need, just wanted confirmation before adding the new record. Can you confirm pub. date as Sep. '76, or just '76?ETA: Actually, that book's already been created, with an invalid ISBN10. ISBN10 fixed. Your book is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#83/87/91 - From what I have seen the SBN is the ISBN without the leading 0, which is the case for the 2nd book.Book 1: Cannot verify that SBN, so not sure if it is the ISBN missing the 0
Book 2: Is the ISBN missing the 0, but the ISBN is re-used, so it would need to have an ACE created and mention the ISBN.
Since Harlequin seems to re-use ISBNs often, it would not surprise me if book 1 was the same thing.
Do not have time at the moment to create the new editions.
#91/95 Another book on Goodreads with an invalid ISBN10:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Based on the ISBN13, the ISBN10 still comes up different than your one though. The only other record I could find of this book has the same mistake though, so not sure what to do about it. I would create the ACE, but if the ISBNs are removed from the first, the ISBN conflict need only be indicated there for your book to be ready.
Changing value to the valid ISBN10 based on the ISBN13 and waiting to hear from more senior librarians before creating ACE.
re 94: Sorry, I should have deleted the question, your record was already prepared (see link in #93), unless you are noticing any discrepancies?
Hi y'all, I'm late catching up to this thread, but FYI Alex (and anyone else who cares), there's some serious funkiness with the ISBNs of some of these records. I strongly recommend that for any of these Harlequinn book records, you check BOTH the ISBN and the ISBN13 with an ISBN converter, like the one from LOC:
http://pcn.loc.gov/isbncnvt.html
Then check the edit logs for funkiness. There has been some, shall we say, creative license taken in designating the ISBNs. Thanks to Edwina for figuring it out.
EDIT: SBNs are NOT ISBNs, and I haven't found any reliable, unique algorithm for converting them into each other (unlike ISBNs and ISBN13s). Edwina, if you have the book in hand AND it has an SBN but no ISBN, and no evidence exists on the internet for the supposed ISBN/ISBN13 attached to the record (which are themselves often partially invalid), then I think the best course of action is to remove the ISBN/ISBN13 all together and put the SBN into the book description field.
I've been going crazy with all of these Harlequin's not matching up. Finally had that ... hey wait a minute moment and then everything clicked.Will post a few more page numbering requests before leaving the Harlequin's alone for a while. I just need to get them added and back in my bookcase. ASAP. :)
