ISBN lookup failed

cmcconnochie
A Complete Solution Guide to Real and Complex Analysis by Yu ISBN: 978-988-78797-8-7 (eBook) gave the message "Lookup Failed" when I entered the ISBN search. The ISBN is recorded on Amazon Kindle and in the book itself.

Is there a standard reference ISBN database that Zotero, Amazon, etc. reference?

    There is no universal database for ISBNs (unfortunately). Your ISBN is not present in Worldcat, probably the largest used by Zotero https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier and it is probably not in the other ones such as the Library of Congress catalog.

    You can add the record from Amazon using the web browser connector.

    (A good rule of thumb is that if you do a Google search for an ISBN and only see a few results (e.g., Amazon and a couple other sketchy sites distributing illegal copies of the book, as is the case here), it's probably just not registered anywhere.)

    OK Good to know. Thanks
