Robert Negut (cavalary) | 76 comments An university yearbook sure has no business being listed as another edition of that. Not sure it wouldn't count as a spam book actually, and either way the "author" is spelled wrong.
Also, while I was there, noticed this also listed as an edition, though I'm quite sure it should be of the third. And since language is listed as Dutch, actually not sure it's not a duplicate?
And while I'm at it, all of those should probably have either an English or the original German edition as default instead of an Indonesian one...

lethe | 16377 comments The 'this' you refer to is the Dutch translation of Winnetous Erben (IV), so it is listed correctly, just as the 'duplicate' is the third.
The whole series was translated into Dutch, so it's not strange to see different Dutch editions here.

The University yearbook is very odd though. The title was Winnetous Erben, but has been changed by a bot. And the ISBN (also) seems to belong to a book about alcohol abuse...?!?


Robert Negut (cavalary) | 76 comments Ah, in that case the Romanian translation threw me off, just poked through the back row of my bookcase and that title was used for the third here.

As for the yearbook, a search seems to indicate that that ISBN is sort of a common number used for various things? See http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/i... Or maybe just an error somewhere that propagated, as here it's listed with the yearbook title: http://www.directtextbook.com/isbn/97...

lethe | 16377 comments Yes, that ISBN looks like a catch-all for all sorts of books. I think the title should be changed back and the ISBN deleted to prevent this from happening again, but I'm hoping a superlibrarian will take a look at it first.


Robert Negut (cavalary) | 76 comments So no change here?
