Ivana (ivanaerny) | 21 comments I'm trying to add a ISBN number for a book Numele mierlei by Radu Pavel Gheo, but I'm getting a message that another book - Un om sfirsit has the same ISBN. Could someone please check if the other books number is correct, because I have the Numele mierlei in front of me and the number is correct. Thanks

Seems like i could add it, I think it was a temporary error on the website or something.

Ivana (ivanaerny) | 21 comments that's odd.
the number of pages is wrong, may I change it?

and what's the difference between isbn and isbn 13?

the ISBN13 is longer than ISBN (which is often called ISBN10) They are named after how many numbers there are in it.

Sure, change the page count, i just used the default page count from a page where I could the book:)

Ivana (ivanaerny) | 21 comments I made a mistake and saved the book. Is there any way for it to be deleted, so that there is only one copy of this book here, in Goodreads?

Lydia (lindea) | 10 comments Yes you go into the edit site on that book and click on delete
