I can see the copyright info in the book but I can't find the book at the copyright.gov site at all by author or title at all. I have even searched by just part of the title and just the author's last name and still nothing. It was suggested earlier that I do a search by ISBN number. How do I do that on the copyright.gov site? It doesn't look like the ISBN is the same format as the registration number. Thanks.
