Peggy Smith | 3 comments One of the books listed under children's author PD Eastman has a title that just looks wrong: Are You My Mother?omnibus Edit: When Nature Cal. I looked up both the 10 and 13 digit ISBNs in OCLC and can't find records for either. My first instinct was to just correct the title to Are You My Mother?, but since I can't find any libraries with copies of these ISBNs to confirm that....

Should I just leave it, change the title, or delete it? Thanks.

Random House has some 6 other editions of "Are you My Mother?" in print, and none are an omnibus. Which doesn't mean there wasn't one that is now out of print, of course.

The other possibility is that this is an error, but the ISBN does have the same prefix as many other Random House books, and they do own this title, so that seems less likely.

I think I lean toward leaving it alone (or possibly assuming that "Cal" is really "Calls" and correcting that). RH may well have published a limited-edition compilation with other books bound together as an omnibus.

Peggy Smith | 3 comments I've checked Bowker's "Books in Print" and "Books Out of Print" and there is no record for this ISBN or for this title.

There are no OCLC records for this book.
