For the following ISBN: 9780006483564

When I put this book on a shelf, and then try to read the contents of a shelf I get badly formed xml coming back from the API call.

The problem lies in the field. Could it be some sort of encoding issue?

I'm seeing the same thing with one of my books. I know I can work around it but it really should be spitting out the correct UTF-8 encoding. Any chance of getting this addressed?

We'll address this shortly.

Hi Michael, is this still being worked on? It causes an awful lot of grief when it goes wrong. Here is another example goodreads id: 8928142

Sorry for taking so long, I'll see if we can't get it resolved sooner.

I am having this problem as well.

How have you guys worked around this problem?

I posted a java client-side fix here:

but, it really should be fixed at the server side :-)

I think we patched Kiwi's issue (we've been emailing back and forth).


Steven: It looks ok for me, can you give me the exact url that is bonking for you?
