I'm trying to post the Mass Market Paperback of Mary Balogh's The Arrangement. The ISBN on the book leads to the details of the hardcover book. I looked both versions up on Amazon and the hardcover has a totally different ISBN than the one on my PB. How do I go about getting this changed? I don't want to post the book and have someone be unhappy with it because it is a different binding. My book's ISBN is 978034553587 (details from Amazon)

this one: 978-0345535870 brings up a hardcover in the PBS system. Since there are 4 copies of this book posted into the system PBS is not likely to change it from hardcover to mmp. They rarely change that kind of info on a book and they'll only do it you can prove the book never existed in that format and no one has ever traded it or posted here. But 4 people have it posted under the hardcover listing. (you can tell that by putting it on your reminder list). I suppose the 4 people with it posted could just not have paid attention to the listing. You could try submitting a data edit and ask the team to look into by sighting all the places that show it as a paperback. It's possible that they put out a book club edition that shared the mmp ISBN. I've had book club editions with that issue before but it was the opposite where I had the hardcover and the ISBN brought up the mmp.

Thanks....when I received the book I didn't even realize the ISBNs were different and had messaged the person who sent it to me about being more careful when they post since I had the hc on my wishlist, but now I'm thinking that they didn't double check what the binding type said when they entered it and I'm guessing that all 4 copies in the system are really the same as my mmp and are just listed under this hc entry. |

Taryn, you can't really assume that, unless you've done a lot of research and haven't found anything else with that ISBN. If your book does NOT match the information in the Book Listing Preview:

FYI: the book was originally supposed to be published in hardcover, but was publication was postponed and they reused the ISBN for the paperback. I knew about the change in formatting, so when I got my copy, I was happy. BUT, according to PBS rules, if the format says hardcover, that is what must be sent..... or the data correctors need to fix that listing. |

This help doc covers the various scenarios: When I enter the ISBN on my paperback, the listing shows a hardcover!
