Incorrect ISBN

First, how do you know the ISBN is wrong? Were you approached by the publisher or the author? Otherwise, deleting an edition with a valid ISBN is against policy and can get you librarian privileges revoked.Second, you are a librarian, and the edition in question was shelved less than five time. Is there any reason you are not doing this yourself?
I verified this on e-isbn.pl (Polish website where by law publisher must get and register isbn for their book to be published and there is a whole database to check isbn of every book). I’m sorry, I thought only Superlibrarians can completely delete a book with isbn that belongs to another book (different book that has 978-83-68240-66-5 isbn is already available to preorder in some bookstores - I think someone made mistake when adding Księgi Krwi to GR database and added different book’s number to this one). I’ll check it on the book’s cover in few days to be 100% sure and correct it myself then, sorry again.
I was the one who added this edition with that ISBN. I took the ISBN directly from the publisher’s website, where this edition is listed with it:https://www.mag-sklep.pl/pl/p/KSIEGI-...
I guess the other book you're referring is Zatruty kielich and Świat Książki can sometimes not be reliable source for book data—I’ve already come across several cases where they listed MAG publications with ISBNs that were actually assigned to different books and change it later to the correct one. It might be worth waiting until this book appears on more sources to check whether it was an error on the publisher's site or not.
Ok, lets wait, I think they will update upcoming books on their website soon. Their website, howewer, has some errors sometimes, few weeks ago I had to double check the whole Legends of the First Empire series on their website because most of them were listed there with wrong number of pages (some books had 384 pages there when physical copies that I read had 560 or more). Also ISBN 9788368240641 was registered on e-isbn.pl to Księgi Krwi, hopefully everything will be clare when they add Zatruty kielich to the database and their website. I’ll check Barker’s isbn on the cover in the bookstore - the best way to be sure I think.
I'll let you two settle it out between you.
I went to the bookstore today to check this book - it’s 9788368240641 on the cover and at the copyright page. I’ll fix this book then.https://imgur.com/a/EJlUo3N
Could you please remove the duplicate with incorrect isbn? This book is added twice, one of them (Księgi Krwi I-III) has incorrect isbn that belongs to another book which will be published in July. I won’t be able to add that new book as it’s blocked by the book with wrong isbn. The correct edition of Księgi Krwi I-III is this one - Księgi Krwi I-III.
Thank you!
