also, can you please italicise the book titles.--Rudra (talk) 23:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

these numbers have of course never been issued by the Russian Book Chamber which is the ISBN authority in Russia to more than one book.

see http://www.bookchamber.ru

is it possibele to search for ISBN numbers there ? that way we could find out who the number 5-7135-0046-2 was originally issued to, provided it was actually issued. --Rudra (talk) 00:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

searching the Global Register of Publishers shows this:

Publisher: Kniga

Country: Russian Federation

Agency Name: Russia

ISBN Prefix: 978-5-7135-

Status: ACTIVE

Address: Chelyabinsk ul. Posty`sheva, 2

Admin Contact Name: V.M. Afanasovich

Admin Phone: 7-(351) 264-98-48

Admin Fax: 7-(351) 264-98-48

so any other publisher using that prefix is at least suspect and most likely a forger.--Rudra (talk) 00:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

searching the Kniga catalog shows that the ISBN number 5-7135-0046-2 is for Сборник буддийских молитв на каждый день--Rudra (talk) 02:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

what confuses me the most is this : why would Prayas fake ISBN numbers despite the fact that he is officially registered as a publisher and could just use his own numbers ?

his details in the Global Registry are:

Publisher: Soldatov Aleksandr Valentinovich

Country: Russian Federation

Agency Name: Russia

ISBN Prefix: 978-5-94726

Status: ACTIVE

Address: Moscow ul. Ae`rodromnaya, d. 12, korp. 1, kv. 16

Admin Contact Name: A.V. Soldatov

Admin Phone: 7-(495) 492-57-92

Admin Email: osho@inbox.ru

i did send him an email to this address, but had no response.--Rudra (talk) 02:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
