Okay thanks Mayrie, that's what I'll do. Bob A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.'

Nope, ISBN is not required. Just fill out the metadata without it. Books published before I think 1970-something didn't have ISBN's so it's fine not to have one. Happy proofreading!

I am proofing "The Tretonian Ring" by L. Spraig De'Kamp, published in 1969. It doesn't appear to have an ISBN. I thought we had to have a cover page with title, author, publisher, publishing date and ISBN. Should I make one up? (Just kidding.) Actually, what am I supposed to do? Thanks.
