Petr Hello,
I am not sure where this book profile comes from: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... but the the title is obviously wrong (French title for a Dutch (NL) edition) and the ISBN belongs to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I have this second book in front of me so I am very sure it is correct.
Could you please do the necessary to either merge these two or delete the wrong one (or at least remove the ISBN from there)? Thank you.

Hello, since you are a librarian, you can fix up the record with the correct ISBN that was imported with the incorrect cover and title. It was imported from Amazon, here’s the listing. For some reason, it seems to have been imported with a placeholder cover or something similar. The listing seems to have been updated since then: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/903...

Since you say you have the book in hand, it should be easy to fill out the other details. Once that is done, a superlibrarian can perform the merge of the duplicate record. Please separate the records for merging. If you check the logs, someone created it with the incomplete ISBN '9789030364'. When that happens, the bot just creates the record again because it couldn’t find the identifiers in the database, so it assumes the book is not already there yet.

Neither librarians nor superlibrarians can edit the ASIN or ISBN, so it’s not possible to move it to the record that has the cover. The record with the ISBN has to be fixed first, and then a superlibrarian can merge the duplicate into the ISBN record.

Let us know when the record has been fixed up.

Thank you, Tami. I was not sure what to do with it and thought that superlibrarians can touch ISBN. Good to know. I will correct it then and let it known here as soon as it is ready.

You’re welcome. Done, the duplicate record has been merged and the valid record recombined.
