when I try to have the system look up the book info for me?  Can 
anyone tell me how to make that stop?  It makes registering books a 
rather tedious process.


It's a bug (rapidly becoming infamous) in the ISBN-lookup process 
from the Amazon database; here's a forum post with (probably) more 
than you ever want to know about it:

re-corrupt-book-details,-can-cause-release-problems

A fix is in the works, but the sad loss of Dan set a lot of site work 
back, so I don't know when that fix will go live. In the meantime, if 
you enter the book info manually and avoid the "lookup" button you'll 
avoid the problem; or if you try the lookup and hand-edit the title 
field whenever it shows up with extra info, you might be able to 
prevent the problem (though sometimes the book-details screen itself 
gets mangled). 

Hoping the fix can be implemented soon,
