 Hi grog
 
 Can you confirm this?  I'll fix it if you're too busy to do it
 yourself, but I'd like to get your "okay" first.
 
 Thanks

 They've just done a reprint, and it's possible that the ISBN has
 changed.  I had the copies in my hands a couple of days ago, but I
 don't have them any more.  I'd say go ahead and commit the change, but
 maybe add the caveat that ISBN numbers are not unique.
