| I looked through the open catalog requests and there doesn't seem to be one
for this. It could be a site development issue, but I'm not sure so I'm
making it a catalog request.
Currently BrickLink uses an unholy mix of the following numbers for books:
BL numbers:
13-digit ISBNs:
10-digit ISBNs:
TLG website numbers:
LEGO Education website/catalog numbers:
Item numbers printed on the item:
TLG identifying item numbers:
and Thor knows what else I've missed. This makes the Books section of the
BrickLink catalog confusing and difficult to navigate or work on (as evidenced
by someone recently submitting several books which already had catalog entries).
I've been told that alternate item numbers aren't allowed for books.
Fine, let's change that. Some books have alternate item numbers and should
be searchable and findable by any of those numbers.
There are 3,000 books in the catalog and volunteers willing to do a little work
to make those entries more complete. It won't be so easy if we wait to add
the alternate item number field until we have two or three times that many books
(or more) in the catalog.
Thank you for considering this request.
