Catalog links to Charles Whitham's book[edit]

I cannot find catalog information for the 2003 edition/reprint of Charles Whitham's book. I discovered this while cleaning up ISBNs in error; this book was cited in several WP articles with an invalid one. I will not change the citation here, since it does not include an erroneous ISBN ... but ... should you wish to provide links to the OCLC and ASIN numbers for this book, the following is what I'm using on other pages.

{{cite book| author=Whitham, Charles| title=Western Tasmania: A Land of Riches and Beauty| edition=1949| (ISBN Unavailable)publisher=Municipality of Queenstown| location=Queenstown| year 1949| id=[[OCLC]] [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48825404?tab=details 48825404]; [[ASIN]] [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FMPZ80 B000FMPZ80]}}

Sorry to sound so cynical[edit]

There is not catalogue information - State Library of Tasmania (first place to look) and National lIbrary of Australia have the 1949 reprint usually - and neither institituion has a clue as to the incorrect isbn on the 2003 reprint! I do think the oclc and asin numbers are irrelevent to the people who travel to Strahan and Queenstown and buy the incorrectly printed 2003 edition (still currently on sale) are unlikely to appreciate the wonder of owning a book with a non existent isbn number! Keep up the hard work - but if youre doing an australian- tasmanian book - state library of tas and national library of australia are the locations to check, imho - cheers!
