Lacrima_Atra | 100 comments I recently bought a current edition of this book with the ISBN-13 being 9783518125564.

This ISBN-13 does not yet exist on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. However, when trying to add a new edition, I got an error and was referred to the edition linked above which carries the ASIN 3518125567. The problem is that this existing edition is combined with the wrong ISBN-13. The correct ISBN-13 would be 9783518125564. The ISBN-13 9783893140565 which is currently indicated for the existing record on Goodreas refers to an entirely different book (unfortunately, it is not possible to post the Worldcat link).

This book is listed with the incorrect ISBN-13 on Amazon so the incorrect data must have been imported from Amazon. As I bought the book directly from Amazon, I can personally testify that the correct ISBN-13 is 9783518125564.

Is there a way to correct this?

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2195 comments If you look at the librarian log for this edition, you can see the Amazon bot changed the ISBN13 from 9783518125564 to 9783893140565 for some reason, likely due to the fact the ASIN and ISBN13 are incorrectly linked on Amazon like you said.

The only way to fix this would be to email support and ask them to revert the ISBN change as staff are the only ones who can change an ISBN.
