Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments I have found an edition of a book that has data referring to 2 different books.

Absent in the Spring has the author from The book of five rings on isbndb and the rest of its data from Absent in the Spring on open library, as can be seen in Librarian Edits for Absent in the Spring.

The fact that both of these titles share their ISBN can be seen at WorldCat by searching the ISBN 055335082X.

I have not corrected the data to allow the techs to do their thing for now.

I have cross-posted this to Feedback/bugs as well.

There's nothing for them to do; it's not really a bug. (Just annoying. ;) ) The imports are working as they're supposed to, within the limitations imposed by the fact that some sources provide certain data and others provide other data.

However, user-edited data is higher priority than any of the imports, so edits should stick.
