Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments It might be ISSN, not ISBN (Wikipedia: "An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an eight-digit serial number used to uniquely identify a serial publication (periodical), such as a magazine")
Please give a specific example.

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments This is not an ISBN or an ISSN.
Google search didn't give me anything other than the name. Can you tell the content of this magazine?

Sanjoy Kumar Boshu | 340 comments Can i add this type of Magazine

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments Sorry, I can't answer this question. As far as I know Eid and Puja are religious cultural festivals, so special edition of the magazine dedicated to them is invalid as well as a regular magazine.
According to the Manual the exception is literary magazine valuably contributing or dedicated to literature. If this is the case then it's valid. Since I don't understand Bengali, I can't tell what type of magazine this is.

(Note. Cover artists should not be listed in the author fields. Cover artists may be noted in the description field.)

Sanjoy Kumar Boshu | 340 comments No, this special edition is not for specific religion people. Those edition is contain brand new(mostly) poem, story, novels, essay etc. that is literery contributing a lot. Later those content like poem or story and novel published in a single book.
Then what is your opinion.


message 9: by Olga (new)

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments In this case, you can add it. Literary magazines are valid (even without ISBN).


message 10: by Sanjoy (new)

Sanjoy Kumar Boshu | 340 comments But I added some using those Invalid ISBN number. What can I do now?


message 11: by Olga (new)

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments You can contact support (only they can change ISBN) or you can leave it as is. I don't see much difference between an empty field or an invalid number in this case.
