Hi forgot to give an example:

try to do a search on this ISBN:

978-0-06-104337-6

or

0-06-104337-0

or a search on:

Death at la Fenice

Theorically it exist on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Death-At-Fenice-Donna-Leon/dp/0061043370/sr=8-1/qid=1166387000/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4958922-4409727?ie=UTF8&s=books

But I have no result in this search
