message 1: by Donna (new)

Donna Lundy | 88 comments I was trying to add another edition to this title & I got a message saying the the ISBN number already exists, but the book is marked invalid. I found a listing in Amazon.com for the paperback edition with the following ISBN numbers: ISBN-10 0722172087; ISBN-13 978-0722172087.

The invalid listing says author unknown, but the amazon.com listing has Hugh C. Rae as the author. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0722172087?...

Should I update the "invalid" entry with the author's name & cover image? Should the status be changed to public again? Or should I just leave everything as is and do nothing? I am not sure why it was classified as invalid. It seems to be a paperback edition of the Hardcover book we have listed The Rookery.

Thanks for your advice!

Emily | 17503 comments This is probably due to a recent import glitch where some books were marked as unknown author in error. You might want to write to Support to report it.
