Ability to merge all possible ISBN numbers for the same title

132 votes

Since different publishings of the same title are often given different ISBN numbers, I have titles in my library that have no info from booksource added, though they are very popular books (Duck on a Bike, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, etc) I would imagine it is because of the specific ISBN number. I would like to see a way that all the different ISBN numbers for a particular title could be added and merged so that the booksource info would populate for our previously entered books. Perhaps this could be a user-added feature? Once we can search/add by title, it would be possible to then add additional ISBN numbers to the title.

Yes! Sometimes I add a popular book and no title, image, or information shows up. But if I Google search a different ISBN number for the same title (let's say maybe the hardcover version), then it will add the book title properly! However, then I cannot actually scan the ISBN numbers on the books as they don't match up with the ISBNs on booksource anymore.
