Hi

i want to add Murray Bookchins The ecology of freedom to my Zotero, but it returns wrong information on the isbn.

ISBN 9781904859260

A google search on the isbn gives me info in the correct book, but adding the isbn in Zotero gives med On Anarchism by Noam Chomsky.

The ISBN has apparently been re-used by the publisher: https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=+9781904859260&offset=1

Missed this reply. Sorry.

Thank you for this. I'll check with the publisher.

I'm curious, what do you expect the publisher to do now? The books exist, they have entered the collections of various libraries, the duplicated ISBN is here to stay.

You can add the book to your Zotero library using the browser connector (the recommended method) from a library or bookseller catalog, or manually.

I'm not expecting anything. I just want them to know that it's an issue.
