Malay is an Austronesian language and there is a latin alphabet
Malayalam is one of the Indian languages.

Hi Linde,
Yes, the request is in Malayalam language which is very different from Malay (or Indonesian). Malay written language is either in roman character or jawi character (modification of arabic character - very less use nowaday, you won't find it here I guess).

Indonesian: no valid ISBN, no link to verify data

They are Malayalam. Not Malay. You may refer to conversations above about the difference between these two languages. :)

I know Malay, is like Tetum (from Timor), but I had no idea about Malayalam?
I sent the links for the right thread now.
Thank you for drawing my atention o this

I found it I'm not comfortable in handling that area
Of course, skip requests that you are not comfortable with. I recently skipped a request for religious booklet in French (Summary: don't read Harry Potter or you'll go to hell). After three librarians sent it to me and no one else wanted to add it, I closed it with comment: "We consider this book inappropriate" :))
But I didn't get which request you skipped. #31? I thought these are editions of Richard Dawkins books about science.
(it's okay if you want to skip them)

#44 I read only "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins. It's about genealogy, genetics, evolution, it was an educational read. I added these books.
