Another request for the same edition of the book made by a different person:

Hi Javier, maybe we have already wrote about this, but why do you think this should be invalid? I've read both NON-book items list and Valid book records, but I didn't found anything accurate.

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't enabled notifications for this thread.
As the other librarian on that request implied, and as I mentioned in the "Questions" folder, books only available with a newspaper should not be added to the database. As the user who made the request couldn't confirm the book can be purchased individually, I wouldn't add it. Maybe you can find it somewhere? I'm not really familiar with Italian sources.
The search function on this forum is not working properly at the moment so I couldn't find the specific thread where Rivka (the former moderator) addressed the issue.
However, I have on my bookmarks this thread where she ruled a book only sold on newsstands was invalid: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm not sure you'll be able to find it (if it even exists), but let me know if you need any more info. (the title there is just a romanized version of the Japanese)

Chiming in just to say an Italian translation exists https://www.amazon.it/MIKOSHIBA-m3-N-...
But as far as I can tell this edition does not have an ISBN. The fact that the entry was created by a non-librarian also suggest it may have been added against policy.
