Dori (adorible) | 196 comments This Spanish edition of "The Name of the Wind" does not have a correct ISBN (it looks like the first 10 digits of a 13 digit ISBN), but it does have a lot of information. I couldn't find what the correct ISBN should be. This edition is similar, but not exactly the same. I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. Should the two records be merged? If not, should the incorrect ISBN be removed?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I found the correct ISBN and added it to the first record. (I find hunting those down rather fun! I don't know why, but I kind of enjoy fixing records like that....)

How did you find it? I tried and had absolutely no luck. I'd love to know for future reference.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Ah, let's see....

I think it was this Google string:
"nombre del viento" "plaza janes" isbn -9788401337208
...yeah, that did it. (9788401337208 is the ISBN of the edition it wasn't.)

Dori (adorible) | 196 comments I never would have thought of removing the other ISBN! I'll have to remember that :)

Thanks Cait!
