Hi Rik,

You can keep scanning. smile. The book doesn't need to have an ISBN number, just the author, copyright and publisher. I've read several of the books you've submitted, btw, and they've been fascinating peeks into local history. Great stuff for us history buffs!

Hi there,
As some of you know I have been scanning and submitting a fair amount of 
Montana or western history books.

I have scanned about 30 or 40 pages of this  one book.
When I found out, however, that there  is no ISBN number, I thought I would 
suspend the project and check with you folks.

The book is pretty interesting, local history.
It has an author, who says the book was compiled and written and it has a 
publisher.
Says it was published in 1998 and reprinted in 1999.

What should I do?

Copyright 1998 by David A. Miller
Publisher Morris Publishing,  with an address in Nebraska.

One thing about it.
It has quite a bit of sections that are actually the Lewis & Clark journals. 
Verbatim.
And if you have ever read those, there are a ton of words that have [] brackets 
in the middle of the words, where letters are inserted, I guess not in the 
original journals.

And I wondered if that is why it lacks the usual credentials we look to have.

Book's title is Call of the Headwaters.

Thanks.
Richard (Rik) James
