I went to down load another book to validate by Beverly Sills. The submitter said their was no ISP. I saw where someone hade looked at the book several times and it appeared to not be validated. I did not even try it. What does returnu mean. Was the book released or rejected. If the submitter can't find the ISPN how do we find it. Shouldn't those be rejected automatically by Book Share?
