RE: NFC: Re: Kinda OT...Book Question
Ty,
I checked with our volunteer librarian (who is a retired professional
librarian) regarding your dilemma. She suggests three possibilities:
1) They are different books.
2) They are the same book but one is in paperback and the other is hardback
- apparently they get different ISBN's because of their physical
differences.
3) They are the same book and somebody made a mistake. (She says this is
rare for ISBN's)
She recommends that you check the publisher(s) if possible and of course the
basics like number of pages, chapters, figures/photos, etc. If you can't
find this info, she says to check with your local library...that's what they
get paid for.
Hope this helps,

Magazine Article: "Creating a natural aquarium", by Peter Hiscock, ISBN
1-903098-11-4. Cover depicts a frame of hand drawn images surrounding a
black box that shows the book title, in green, a small descriptive
paragraph, a photo of a fish tank and the author's name. Price: 7.99 (UK,
can't do the L with the line through on my keyboard, pounds I think)
Amazon: "Creating a natural aquarium", by Gina Sanford, ISBN 0764561413.
Cover depicts a frame of hand drawn images (different images then above)
surrounding a black box that shows the book title, in green, a small
descriptive paragraph (same exact paragraph), a photo of a fish tank
(different tank) and no author's name. Price $11.96
I want the book described in the article but am not sure they are the same.
Is there a place to look up ISBN numbers?
