David Raz (davidraz) | 12830 comments I merged it the opposite way since that edition had the invalid ISBN.

Please don't add librarian comments in any language other than English.

Actually this is not quite right. I have the book and the ISBN13 is wrong. The correct one is 9789545282118. The current ISBN13 9789545282119 is printed only on the book cover jacket and not present inside the book.

Regarding the Librarian comments language - understood!

David Raz (davidraz) | 12830 comments To understand ISBNs, please read the following:

The conclusion you will reach is that 9789545282118 cannot be the correct ISBN because it is not a valid ISBN at all. The valid ISBN is 9789545282119. My guess is that the printer was correct on the cover, and incorrect inside the book.
Here are some tools for checking and converting ISBNs:

Ангѣлъ (angelariyah) | 20 comments Great! Thank you for the insights! I'll dig into the ISBN calculation because it appears this to be quite useful to know especially for the older books. Have a nice day!
