Jan | 30 comments I am lookint at the copy of Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel that I just read.
ISBN: 0060518057; 350 pages;Paperback

This is also the LOC entry information.

Goodreads has this Hardcover w/ 368 Pages. Is there a way to get this fixed so that I can enter the book in my list?

The LoC listing does not seem to specify hardcover v. paperback. I also found 6 other databases which identify that ISBN as hardcover.

I fixed the number of pages.

That's odd about the ISBN; there are several paperback editions with different ISBNs. That does not seem to be one of them.

Does yours have the white cover or the blue one?

Jan | 30 comments Blue cover. It is technically a trade paperback. Returned it yesterday to the Deerfield Public Library.

Here is the entry from the Library Catalog:
Dilbert and the way of the weasel /
by Adams, Scott, 1957-
HarperBusiness, c2002.
# Subjects Management -- Humor.
# Executives -- Humor.
# Corporate culture -- Humor.
# Office politics -- Humor.
# Personnel management -- Humor.
ISBN:
0060518057
006052149X (pbk.) :
Description:
xii, 350 p. : ill. ; 20 cm.
Edition:
1st ed.

Note the 2 ISBN Numbers- The second one (006052149X)comes up as Pbk in Goodreads but still has the wrong # of pages. Also the Publisher should be correctly stated as: HarperCollins (not just Collins)

ISBN 006052149X comes up correctly at Alibris & Barnes, but not at the LOC. I am certainly confused.

I corrected the publisher and the number of pages. Looks to me like your book is 006052149X if it's the blue-covered paperback.
