--- Comment #2 from Christopher Brannon <[email protected]> ---
I disagree with your perception of the ISBN.  The ISBN isn't just a title.  It
represents a specific edition and format of that title.  Not all items in the
record are exactly alike, which is why there are multiple ISBNs in a record. 
This is the point of this ticket.  It seems like we should have some way of
tying ISBNs to items so that if all items that are tied to a specific ISBN are
deleted from the record, that ISBN could also be removed.  Right now, we just
dump every known ISBN in that record.  Some of them could be related to audio
or large print, which might not be part of the same record.

We ended up splitting our large print records from our other copies a while
back, but have no easy way of cleaning up the ISBNs between records because the
ISBN information is not connected to the item in any way.  We would have to
manually verify every single ISBN.  And then, you could only do so with the
items in hand.

ISBN management would be easier if there was a link to the item.
