minzi | 388 comments Hi there,

I stumbled upon a few entries for Mary Stewart, where I have doubts that these are valid:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

They all seem like a loose collection of individual books, not a "set" that was officially sold by a publisher once, and also not like one book that contains several novels.

Can they be set to invalid?

Thanks, minzi

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2197 comments Yes, they can be set as Invalid.

If you look at the listing you can see they were imported from Amazon and have an ASIN which indicates they're a third-party listing sold on Amazon and aren't an actual boxed set sold by the publisher.

minzi | 388 comments That's what I thought, but as other librarians made edits (to at least two of the entries), I was unsure.

Thanks for your prompt reply and help!

All the Sets without ISBN should be marked as invalid.
