I agree in general. I would perhaps make an exception or clarification on multi-packs of the same book. It does not make sense to me to keep the multi-pack as a separate edition record, but it does make sense to me to keep the ISBN for it as an additional or alternate ISBN on the proper edition. If somebody does search by ISBN, and that ISBN is only associated with that legitimate book, why wouldn't we want to have the search be successful? - Alan _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
