Hey there!

I'm looking for ideas how to avoid downloaded metadata merging. The case is that in my country there are a lot of books without ISBN, because of historic reasons (Soviet union did not used ISBN).

So my problem is that a lot of books do not crawl ISBN and it seems no ISBN is treated as the same ISBN. So they are merged. Or as I see, they are get rid of at all.

Do you know a method how to avoid merging? I've tried to modify plugin and use unique title and unique author, by adding random string. Unfortunately it doesn't work... Those records that are without ISBN are removed.

Thanks for ideas in advance!
