Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments There’s an odd ISBN/edition issue going on with a specific edition of the book Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - This edition has its ISBN-10 listed as 9780140187. This is not a valid or existing ISBN-10 number. It doesn’t correspond to any existing ISBN-13 as all valid, existing ISBN-10s do. Additionally, this edition is otherwise blank; no cover art, no page count, no publisher, barely any information at all.

However, there is another edition of the book with an ISBN-13 that begins with 9780140187 (Travels with Charley: In Search of America, ISBN 9780140187410). I believe that this edition’s ISBN-13 (or the first ten digits of it, anyways) was mistakenly put in the ISBN-10 field for the blank edition. As a result, I believe that the blank edition with the invalid ISBN-10 needs to be merged with the Penguin Classics edition with the ISBN 9780140187410.

... and complete. You may mark this as "done" now.
