Hi everyone, I’ve come across a few records that look like weird, and I’m wondering if others know how to handle them.
They have long product-style titles (like TV antennas or teeth whitening strips) but then end with the name of an actual book. For example:
TV Antenna Indoor... E Assim que Acaba:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Teeth Whitening Strips 14 Treatments... Corte de Gelo e Estrelas:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
These entries also include ISBNs, but I can’t verify that the ISBNs are linked to real books.
Has anyone else seen this kind of thing? Are these safe to mark invalid, or is there a protocol we should follow when we find entries like this?
Thanks in advance!
