Hi, Liz. There are some books up there that don't have the ISBN numbers listed, so maybe just write "unknown" in the ISBN field. That's what I'd do, since you did what you could to find it. Take care.

I have the 1966 original paperback copy published by Ace Books, Doubleday and Co. There isn't an ISBN. I looked in Amazon.com and they list a 1980 version, by Del Rey publishers, with an "ASIN" number, whatever that is. Then I checked Barnes and Noble, and they list a 1980 version by Random House with the ISBN same as the ASIN. All are the same copywrite author. So when I submit this, I will put the original 1966 copyright date as that's the edition I have, but I don't have an ISBN... What should I do? Explain all this in the scanners comments box? I have heard that validators sometimes don't read the messages the scanners put in. Liz in Seattle Liz Halperin Seattle, WA lizzers@xxxxxxxxxxx
