I think the book above has a fake ISBN. Amazon has no search results for
9781370432295 - neither does isbnfind.org, also it is listed as an ebook but then it should have an ASIN. Didn't know if you could merge it with a legit copy of the book or what should be done about it.

Also there is this copy that has no info at all except for "ebook."

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments The first edition was added by the smashwords bot, including the ISBN. This means this is the real ISBN smashwords assigned to it, as you can see here:

Looking at the publisher, the cover was incorrect, so I restored the correct cover.

The empty edition was merged by someone else.

There is another ebook edition with no ISBN, but this edition now has a different cover so it shouldn't be merged either.

I read in one of my many book newsletters that the author has decided to unpublish this book and 2 others.
I thought that I would look them up to see if anything needed to be corrected or added before they disappear from Amazon.
Thanks for your help.
