Toby (tfitoby) | 6 comments I picked up a copy of the movie tie-in edition of this book today. the isbn found on the back of the book and on the publication details page (1841154458) leads to The Blood Of Strangers: True Stories From The Emergency Room which is obviously not the same book.

I've added my version of wonder boys to the database without the isbn (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...) and am wondering if i've now created a useless duplicate listing or whether someone has some advice on locating the correct isbn or something? will a librarian note about the incorrect isbn suffice?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments That's the correct way to do it, although you may want to add a note in the description field with the ISBN (and also a librarian's note with the same info). ISBNs aren't supposed to be reused, but when they are, this is the way to enter the second book.
