Duplicate ISBNs

[DarkHeart "Vehngeance"]

The British version of Richelle Mead's Succubus Shadows appears to have the same ISBNs as Kay Hooper's Larger Than Life. As a result, I couldn't add in any ISBN information for it. Is there something I should do in cases like this?

Yes. First, confirm that the information is correct. In this case, it seems not not have been. Google Books and WorldCat both agree that the ISBN really belongs to the 2010 book. Bad data from Amazon (and if you look at Amazon, they're rather conflicted about the ISBN) is all too common.

So I deleted the bad record and added the ISBN to the correct one.

Ah thanks. I admit to having checked Amazon and then stopped. I'll bookmark Google Books and WorldCat and refer to them in the future. Cheers!

Amazon's data is not infrequently incorrect.

You can add Google Books and WorldCat as "find at"s for your books. That's what I do -- and it makes looking any book up a single click from its page.
