Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Hiya,

I came across this book today while fixing Shannon:

Pren Hall Pockt GD&Silas&pio&babit&cer& Pkg

I've searched by ISBN on Worldcat, COPAC, Google. Nothing except this garbled title version from various booksellers. I've also searched all the Prentice Hall Pocket Guide titles I could find to see if I could figure out what it was supposed to be but no joy there either. Any ideas? It it worth asking for a deletion or will it reimport again next month...?

Title needing fixing is not a good reason to delete.

Edit: However, it looks highly likely to be a packaged-for-the-classroom set of books, so I marked it Not A Book.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Thanks Rivka - I agree totally that needing fixing isn't a reason. I was just highly suspicious of it due to not being able to find out anything about it from either publishers or libraries, but wasn't sure if it was NAB, never published, or published in some other means in the end...

Sadly, for some very legit books, there just is no data available anywhere online. It's not necessarily proof of anything much.
