Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #1 - Taking a looks. Doesn't looks as bad as some of the others yet, but still a modified record.

Now that is a weird one. Apparently the edition you linked to has been released 2 times with the same ISBN13 but the first one had an ISBN10 with an X instead of a 9 as the last digit (which of course is invalid.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #1 - Think I got it all straightened out, including adding a valid edition that somebody deleted, and adding the new edition that the one you linked to was changed to be.

Was going to create an ACE for you but looks like it is already here: The Japanese Screen

Let me know if anything else needs fixed with the record.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #3 - Taking a look. Working on fixing the original record, but there was an ACE for your record already. It is here: Jungle of Desire.

I did not copy the cover over. If yours is the same I can, but since there is an issue with the cover, if you have a better one you can provide that would be great.

Fixed the edition that you linked to along with another edition.

Added your ACE here:Food for Love

If there is anything that needs changed, like the cover, since I used the one that was on the record you pointed to, let me know.

Edwina Book Anaconda | 26933 comments Re #11
Hi Alex!
On the cover, under the word Dell is 1725.
Oh, there are numbers on the book spine
440-01725-150
hadn't thought to look there before.


message 15: by Alex (last edited Dec 19, 2014 11:04AM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #7/11/14 Hey Edwina!
I think we've cracked this one, remove the 150 (price) from the end add a 0 at the beginning for English language group, 440 indicates Dell, 01725 is item number and generating the check digit...
This book's converted ISBN is 0440017254 and ISBN13 is 9780440017257. However there don't appear to be any online records of this book associated with this ISBN. On the other hand, there aren't any other books associated with it either. Plus, the ISBN for the book you linked has a 1 instead of a 0 at the beginning of the item number, which makes me think they considered the 0 taken.
I'll add your book as a separate edition with a note about the conversion... Done.

ETA: Your book is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Wow, a nice and easy one for a change, no modifications had been made to the original record.

The one you linked to had a valid ISBN for that book, so I created an ACE and used the cover from the edition you linked to.

Here is your ACE: The Matchmakers


message 17: by Alex (last edited Dec 19, 2014 10:17AM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #7 Hmm, closer inspection of the original record reveals there's something fishy going on... A search for the ISBN brings up the same book, but with a different cover and a publication date of August 1980. The current cover, according to the log, magically appeared on the record at some point in time, while the date was, in fact, August 1980 before being changed (confusion resulting from the wrong cover being attached, perhaps?). Is this a case where I should update the record to match Amazon and replace the cover?

ETA: Amazon


message 18: by Philip (last edited Dec 19, 2014 11:15AM) (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #17 - Interesting. Taking a closer look.

I would say to leave the cover alone, because nothing says it was not released with that cover/ISBN combo. I would almost not bother reverting the Date either, since I cannot find much about it.

I would create the ACE for the edition requested though.

I think that's a bogus ISBN on the edition you linked to here, but I can't prove it. Created an ACE for your copy here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Do you want to upload a cover shot?


message 28: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 20, same problem as the last one i did for you, but i went ahead and made an ACE:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

found a nice cover on amazon that confirms your SBN in the upper right corner (even if Amazon has it attached to the wrong edition -- bad amazon!)

Uploaded yours. Yours is actually better, it's higher resolution so I can read the number in the top right corner.

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 35, there wwere so many bad changes in that record, now that i've reverted it, it's a completely different edition.

yours, however, is here:

Re Nandar: Oops, this is the Edwina Harlequin Challenge thread: you must pay attention to everything to complete one! :D

Edwina, I think you should actually name your threads that from now on; you're lulling us into a false sense of security with titles like "add page count please"! XD

message 48: by Nan (new)

Nan (xxmzsmilesxx) | 1167 comments #43 looks like an ACE


message 49: by Alex (last edited Dec 19, 2014 06:53PM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments Re 47: Uh oh, Nandar, you blinked and you missed it again! Edwina's ISBN is different than the book she linked; the link leads to the book most likely to be cannibalised. If you check its log, you'll see what I mean.


message 50: by Nan (new)

Nan (xxmzsmilesxx) | 1167 comments Alex I shall leave you to do these requests, my brain is about to implode!


Though I swear #43 is an ACE so created one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
If you disagree, do as you please :)
