The IBSN tidbit came courteousy of a FReeper (GOPcapitalist I believe) yesterday but FR search is not working for me now - maybe if it is for somebody else they can post a link to yesterday's (excellent!) research on the matter.
Note.....the conclusion of the NRO post is that he is still not a "paid operative" for the campaign.
I am trying to find out more about ISBN regs, but the library director (work at a library) did not know enough for anything that solves the problem for sure.
I am going to have to call the publisher it looks like tomorrow.
Wait to go Steve and GOP!
