That works for me via WorldCat, but it's failing for you. The new version of WorldCat is unfortunately a bit finicky, so if you're having trouble with a given ISBN you may have better luck going to worldcat.org and saving from there. It should generally work, though. It may also just work for you at a later time.

Is this from a network with any sort of WorldCat subscription (e.g., a university campus)? That's occasionally caused trouble before.
