The ISBN may have been incorrectly labelled invalid, but we have (to our surprise) found several examples where the publisher has put an invalid number on the book (see talk page for examples). Note that just because a number has not been identified as invalid, it doesn't mean it corresponds to the book in question, or indeed any book.
Some ISBNs may still have been printed correctly elsewhere in the same book or corrected in later editions; if further research shows that to be the case (and that the new ISBN still refers to an edition with the same information on the same pages), then the invalid# parameter should be moved or {{Listed Invalid ISBN}} should be replaced with {}.

This shows whether the particular book is listed in a library catalogue, at WorldCat , at Google Books , at major booksellers, or at other websites.
This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.; These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
The ISBN-13 is often found near the barcode and will start with either 978- or 979-. However, if an older work only lists an ISBN-10, use that in citations instead of calculating an ISBN-13 for it. This is because ISBNs are often used as search strings and checksum differences between the two forms make it difficult to find items listed only ...
