Don Satalic (donsatalic) | 1 comments The ISBN on my book The Dummy Case is wrong. It should be:

ISBN 978-0-9890346-2-3

Would you please change it for me.

Thank you very much.

Don

David Raz (davidraz) | 12733 comments Scott, that is not to first time you state this incorrect fact. Superlibrarians can create ISBN reuse editions if necessary.
However, Don, in this case, I don't see the problem. ISBN 978-0-9890346-2-3 *is* the ISBN of your book. What exactly is the problem?

Scott | 8543 comments You can create a new edition, but as far as I know an ISBN cannot be edited on an existing record (except perhaps by staff). Is that incorrect?


message 5: by David (new)

David Raz (davidraz) | 12733 comments ISBN cannot be edited, but it can be moved.


message 6: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8543 comments That doesn't contradict what I said.
