Finally moved everything to the basement.

Spent years with everything in the office with me. Used to run some pretty old and noisy devices too lol. I always wanted to move everything somewhere else to cut down on noise but that means cables to run and total disassembly. Finally bit the bullet and moved it all last Saturday. The office has never been so peaceful

    Just throwing this out there on the flavored syrups side; most companies that I'd only previously known for latte syrups also make some good mixers. For instance Monin's lavender is awesome in carbonated water

    Yeah the author talks about how on the old internet it was great that you'd just stumble across people on blogs\rss, mailing lists, and other things you subscribe to. Then just chucks all that to the side and sets up automated ways to force his work in front of people.

    Edition of Book With Wrong ISBN Printed? (infosec.pub)
     

    While cataloging our books my wife mentioned she had an ISBN she couldn't find online. Figured I'd take a shot at it and after diving in for an hour or two, I've got nothing official to point to. If anything it seems like a mis-print or possible double-assignment. I'm not expecting anyone here to do the work to find it. I more just want to know if this type of stuff is common and I might be looking for something that doesn't exist. Are ISBN and/or copyright mis-prints or mis-assignments more common than I (layman) realized?

    If anyone does want to take a look, here is the info along with what I've scrounged up so far:

    Title: Libra
    Author: Don DeLillo
    Format: Paperback
    ISBN-10 (printed on book): 0965026040
    ISBN-13 (printed on book): 9780965026048
    Publisher: Quality Paperback Book Club
    Link to cover: https://images.isbndb.com/covers/15925993482531.jpg Interior Note: "This edition was especially created in 2001 for Quality Paperback Book Club by arrangement with Viking, a member of Penguin Putnam Inc. This edition copyright 2001 by Bookspan. All rights reserved."

    My notes:

    • I don't believe the ISBN-10 can be correct since the check digit on the end shouldn't be a 0 it should be a 3, right?

    • Searching by ISBN-13 and the corrected(?) ISBN-10 returns a different book on most ISBN DBs (isbnsearch, worldcat, amazon)

      • The other book is Russian Journal by Sarah Phillips
      • Worldcat returns entries for both books, showing them with the same ISBN numbers.

    • isbnsearch shows the registration information for Russian Journal but the cover art for Libra.

    • I've found a couple examples of this version of Libra for sale on used book sites with the wrong ISBN-10 info but I'm assuming that's just the seller entering what's printed on the book.

    • Not sure how relevant this is but I pulled up all of Bookspan's copyrights on copyright.gov and didn't see this one.

    My current theory is that this ISBN belongs to Russian Journal and that this edition of Libra has mis-printed info. However, is there any way to confirm which book is incorrect?
