Sarah (moragepona) | 33 comments I typed in the following ISBN
4043002331785 and it took me to this page: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

The book I have infront of me, with that ISBN, however, is another. It's called Rundum wohlfühlen: Die besten Wellness Ideen für Ihr Zuhause. This is a book I can't find in the database, yet when I go to "manually add book" it tells me it might already exist and no book appears below, so I can't really tell if it exists or not... ;) It IS, however, on Amazon.de.

Can I just go ahead and add it, or is there another procedure here?

Sarah (moragepona) | 33 comments It's not though, it's a completely different book...

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments that isbn is correct for book it is assigned to. your book's isbn by amazon.de might be ISBN-10: 3426644002 and ISBN-13: 978-3426644003. please recheck your numbers.

Sarah (moragepona) | 33 comments The ISBN I mentioned first is the one on the back of my book, it might just be incorrect on the book though for some reason then. Thanks Iluzija. I've found it now.

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments Best place to see what isbn book is, is next to the code for scanning. I have encountered few books with wrong number inside book and right one on the coding. Usually that happens with books from same authors published by same house short time after each other. Just check everything twice before entering it here :) Best of luck.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Where books share a same ISBN but are different books we add a new edition as per the instructions on adding Alternative Cover editions.

Iluzija O. Istini | 241 comments Thnak you, Paula. Unfortunately, that was not the case here, it was different book and searching isbn on amazon only gave the original book. It was only an error. But will keep in mind your instructions on other cases that might pop up in future :)
