i added this work a list, yesterday. it was children of the forest-when i added it. now, it says it is swiss family robinson. i dont know how to fix it - or what the problem is. i have both books in my library- but clicking on the icon- indicates that i dont. i'm not sure what is going on. or what question to ask.

There were at least two different entries for The Children of the New Forest mixed into the editions for The Swiss Family Robinson; I pulled them out and combined them with the appropriate work. However, I don't know if this fixed the issue in your catalog, so there may very well be more that needs to be done.

I pulled a few, too. If your catalogue is still wacky (The links above are now wrong) leave it for a day or two and we can try again.

So, i think this is that thing where something is wrong at the amazon site/ or isbns. i dont grasp resolving those issues, yet.

when u click on link, the right title, author, and cover come up. i removed a couple more swiss families and a couple of Pollyannas. I even entered a canonical title hoping that would help- it didn't.

when you click on the green add button- you still get swiss family robinson

>4 EGBERTINA: I pulled 3 Swiss Family Robinson's out of The Children of the New Forest work, try again.

I narrowed it down to one specific edition with wrong isbn of 1853261106 and once that was out I got the expected ratty data search result e.g.



and now Quick Add is adding the expected book for me.

No. I am still getting Swiss Family Robinson.

It says it is from the number you named at the British Library - so - not Amazon

I show a lot of that isbn as still in there- but i'm not comfortable yanking them out.

is there some other way to fix the isbn?

You cannot change other people's data.

If you search Overcat using the ISBN 1853261106, you get both titles from multiple libraries. I think we can assume that the publisher used the same ISBN for both books. It happens.

Any edition with that ISBN belongs in the work that matches its title.

If the new add books button gives wonky results, you need to go to the add books page and enter there.
