This work claims to have only _one book_, with ISBN 0814406483/9780814406489

My book, with ISBN 0-304-33843-5 has somehow got associated with the same work. Which still only has one ISBN.

This probably happened years ago, when I uploaded all the books I'd catalogued in my prior system, ISBN only.

One of these is named Seven Steps to a Successful Business Plan
The other is named Religious Conversion: Contemporary Practices and Controversies

I messed things up farther today by editing "my book" to fix the author (it had the *second* author, but not the first, and neither one is the same as the author of the business book.), and uploading a pic of the cover of my book (the religion one).

If there were two *books* I could split them. But the work details page at https://www.librarything.com/work/4071351/workdetails/112846832 is quite clear that there is *one* ISBN and so presumably only *one* book. Also, while I've combined books a few times - usually because I added books manually that weren't recognized as yet another printing or edition of an existing work - I've never split a work and might well do it wrong.

I'm going to try deleting my book and re-adding it, but that's arguably a work-around, not a fix.

Fixed it. Publisher error, ISBNs should be unique. Split out. https://www.librarything.com/work/28705401

So you should be good. Let me know if there's anything else.
