Thank you,

That's an excellent plug-in. However, it does not answer my question or fix my issue.

I understand that not all books have an ISBN but some of those without it do have a Google or Amazon number and that number can be seen when viewing the metadata for the book.

My specific concern is how come the alternative numbers are not shown in the ISBN column (I created) but are shown in the ISBN field when viewing individual book metadata?

If they are saved somewhere else in the database, how do I access this data so I may create a column to display them? Even though the data is proprietary, Calibre manages to find and display this information after downloading the metadata. It's just not being displayed where I want it.

Hope this makes better sense.

Thanks again,

Bruticus
