What's the name of the .rtf file inside beatie.zip? Does it have any punctuation marks in it? If there was a problem with the ISBN number, it would say so. Several times, I have entered an ISBN number from a Spanish book and been told that it's invalid, when it's exactly what was in the book. So I know that you'd see something if that was the problem.

The only other field that might be a problem is my isbn number....I'm at a loss. I even copied the file into my root directory so I wouldn't have a long string to rrite out in the upload file field.
