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 ?
hmmm, looks like Nirvana is only involved in one of the suspect ISBNs (5-7135-0046-9)


his details in the Global Registry are:

Revision as of 05:41, 14 February 2017

Note : table headers are written in lower case

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 suspect.--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)


hmmm, looks like Nirvana is only involved in one of the suspect ISBNs (5-7135-0046-9)

Nirvana's 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 Prayas an email to this address, but had no response.

i am starting to suspect that the problem we see is two fold:

  • some publishers are using fake numbers for god knows what insane reason
  • and the ISBN numbers we see in online shops are there due to some serious database corruptions in the shop catalogs
