Not existing ASIN

According to the changelog, it was imported from Amazon. So we assume it was a valid edition at that time and therefore still is, unless we have clear evidence it never was a valid edition.ASIN is just an internal number from Amazon, so if the edition is removed from Amazon, it can be hard to find any information afterwards.
Thanks for the feedback.So now i know how to handle this kind of books :-)
If it was imported by Amazon, leave it alone if it's a book. Existend long enough to get imported.I would even let it alone if it's entered by user, except it's a really weird "Asin" - had it once that someone entered words (or parts of them) as ASIN, that had to do something with the title.
That was obviously no ASIN. But otherwise, I leave them alone.
sometimes there are multiple ASIN Editions for some kindle books.
e.g.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
--> ASIN B082Q5BXHM
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
--> ASIN B088D5N1NH
ASIN B082Q5BXHM did not exist on Amazon and also Google did not find any related information for this ASIN.
How can this happen, a ASIN did disappear completely ?
Last time i deleted this entry, because i thought it was a faulty entry, but i received a warning from Goodreads:
"""We are happy to count you as one of our Goodreads librarians. However, we recently noticed that you had deleted a valid Kindle edition of the book , which is actually against our rules."""
How to handle this kind of entry? Found nowhere any information to this ASIN (B082Q5BXHM).
