Wrong ISBN: Matka noc

[Piotr]

Current entry has ISBN 8386180129. Googling for this number shows no results, which is pretty impressive.

My paperback copy has ISBN 8372986754 (you can google it easily). Publishing year matches, so I believe I have the correct ISBN for this entry.

Done. Thanks for your input.

Thank you!

Changes to ISBN reverted. An edition published in 2004 (and added to the Goodreads database in 2010) may no longer be available anywhere online, but that does not mean it is invalid and never existed.

A new edition with 8372986754 can be added. Please provide all of the usual details (see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).

Continuing this thread is fine.

I see. I apologize for the mistake on my part.
For the record, I didn't just google the ISBN that was claimed wrong. I searched WorldCat, for both the ISBN10 and ISBN13, to find two completely different books from Matka noc. On the other hand when I did the same procedure for the ISBN Piotr provided, the search results returned the exact same book. So I was convinced I was doing the right thing when I changed the ISBN. I do hope my mistake would be forgiven.

Every librarian was new once. :)

For future reference, unless an ISBN is actually invalid (it has the wrong number of digits, it doesn't pass the check-digit test, there is an obvious typo) we don't change or remove ISBNs from existing book records. (Or delete said records.) There can be many reasons a given ISBN cannot be found online, so that alone is not a reason to delete an ISBN or its edition.

Thank you! Well noted :DD

All details for ISBN 8372986754 are identical.

Reading from the copy I hold in my hands:
Publisher is Zysk i S-ka
Publication year is 2004
It's paperback
There are 204 numbered pages
Cover is the same

We cannot use a cover from one edition for a different one. The ISBN or ASIN must match.

Fortunately, it seems to be up on several of the non-US Amazon sites, such as https://www.amazon.com.au/Matka-noc-K...
