<Note>Data from Kobo (GB) as of 2020-05-16.

This is presumed to be a variant ebobok (e.g. MOBI vs EPUB) with a different ISBN from <a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?452675">the version available through Amazon</a> that has identical publisher, publication date etc.</Note>
<ModNote>UK/international (?) ebook that has a different ISBN from the existing record in ISFDB, linked in the notes. (The cover image is different, but that just seems to be the publisher arbitrarily updating it in all ebook stores.)

This ISBN has been validated against WorldCat: https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=9781497607477 whereas WorldCat doesn’t seem to know about the ISBN for the existing record.

Conversely, Amazon (UK) finds match if you give it that other ISBN, but not this one.

Goodreads has both ISBNs, FWIW.

It’s possible Amazon has a bogus ISBN, but I don’t know how to prove that - and maybe there’s an aspect of if Amazon thinks it exists, then maybe it does exist to all intents and purposes?</ModNote>
