Problems with ISBNs

I'm getting some very weird results with tellico 1.2.4 and 1.2.7 when
trying to go searches by ISBN.

First of all, half the time the search comes back "itemid not found"
even though I can look it up manually by ISBN on Amazon. Obviously, this
is not right.

Secondly, I get pretty much no results at all when using ISBN's and
selecting Library of Congress. Is this normal?

And finally, if I select multiple ISBNs, and some of them have problems,
Tellico won't process the rest of the list. It should process what it
can, and then do something with the remaining values. In particular,
going back through a large list of ISBNs and figuring out which one(s)
didn't go through, and then having to reenter them one at a time until I
find the problem value, is pretty gimpy. It should really do something
like processing all the ISBNs it can, and then show another edit dialog
for the ones it can't handle.

Anyway, just my $0.02.
