dfgjdfglkgpw publisher websites where you can't search by ISBN. Especially when, after you turn up your thing via title search, the ISBN is there on the page, so it's not just that the data is absent (which would also be stupid and annoying), it's that they apparently haven't included it among what their search box is actually searching. ISBN of all things. I repeat, dfgjdfglkgpw.

(I do this a lot to snaffle back-cover/book-jacket copy and sometimes tables of contents to lessen my need to transcribe them into catalog records. I prefer to do this off publisher websites and not Amazon whenever possible.)
