Falkershriek | 2 comments It would seem that the ISBN 978-1613823309 is falsely associated with the book "The Wind in the Willows". The cover of this entry suggests that it is "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche and so does general ISBN search. For some reason Amazon results for this ISBN do return "The Wind in the Willows", which is probably the cause of this issue, but some of them also correctly(?) group that book together with various versions of "Beyond Good and Evil".

Having owned this version of BGaE myself, I can confirm that this particular ISBN is printed on its cover. I can also call up the Amazon(.de) page for my order of this book, which correctly lists BGaE, with the ISBN 978-1613823309 and with the same cover as in the Goodreads entry. For some reason, searching the German Amazon with the shortened ISBN (1613823309) returns the same entry, but searching with the full ISBN returns another version of BGaE (though neither return The Wind in the Willows). Searching on American Amazon using the shortened ISBN returns no results, but searching with the full ISBN returns yet another version of BGaE.

TL;DR: This entry should probably be changed to "Beyond Good and Evil" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche; the cover already is correct.

message 3: by Linde (new)

Linde | 6549 comments Hi there, I'm going through the old requests without 'Done' or 'Completed' in the title (max 1 year old), to see if we missed any requests (no reply from a librarian). Thanks for your patience. Librarians cannot change an ISBN. Please go to Goodreads Support via the Contact Us page and ask it there. Tip: add the WorldCat.org or Amazon link.

Please help the Librarians to focus on the requests that are still open, by moving this topic to the "Archived" folder (and your other completed requests*). I can't do that. Instructions:
1. Click on the tiny "edit"-button at the right of the topic's title (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app)
2. Change the folder to "Archived"
3. Don't forget to click on "SAVE"

Greetings

* It would be great if you moved all your 'done' requests about adding new books/editions to the "[Closed] Added Books/Editions" folder and all the other 'done' requests to the "Archived" folder. Go to the Home page of the Goodreads Librarians Group and click on "My Group Topics" (find an example screen shot here.).
