It is a bit unusual for a book published that late to not have an ISBN, but there is no law that a book must have an ISBN and there is no Bookshare requirement that it have an ISBN. I would advise continuing to scan it. In the meantime, if you have not already done so, you might examine the covers, including the spine, carefully. There just might be an ISBN that is not at all obvious. I have come across books like that.

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
