I have looked through the previous 18 pages and do not see this question addressed.

I consistently will have a few ISBN's for which LC does not return a DDC, and for which an author/title search will find no OCLC_OWI. However, when I enter the same ISBN into the OCLC demo page, it does return a DDC.

Since LC uses a modified version of the api that the demo page uses, I do not understand why that would happen.

I am using the latest plugin and edition of Calibre. Here are some example ISBN's with this behavior:

9783642156298
9784431285519
9783540699590
9781852335229
9781588291998

Can anyone explain this and save me from having to plow through the code? Thank you!
