Hello Sanjoy,from where did you find this ISBN?
In a book. I added this book without ISBN then.
AR59966169 is not an ISBN despite the copyright page. You can try to find the real ISBN if it exists. Add a Librarian Note about this for other livrarians.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
Can I add this ISBN even invalid and then add librarian note. or only add note without add ISBN.
No, don't do this. The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique commercial book identifier. Only the correct ISBN should be added in this field (I think Goodreads won't allow you to add this code anyway). This number on the copyright page might be a barcode or some kind of identifier.It is better to add the book without ISBN + leave a Note with this number.
