I want to add my cookbooks to the collection, but now I'm trying to search by ISBN number but I can't. Is that correct or am I doing something wrong?

No, not correct, because it is fine.

Correct, I discovered that I kept entering it incorrectly, now it works fine. Thank you for your response.

Please keep in mind that ISBN is not a mandatory field, so not finding an ISBN does not automatically mean that a book is not yet in the catalog.

It strikes me that recently searching by ISBN doesn't always work well. As an example, on ISBN: 9045103311 no hit appears while catalog number 2672879 does list the ISBN number. The data is frozen. The ISBN is neatly displayed on KB.

But that book has a completely different ISBN...
You are probably looking #3099227 , but no ISBN is listed.

If you search with the correct ISBN "9021481340" you will get the book #2672879, but you should not prepend an ISBN.

Unfortunately not and I had seen that too. So it is indeed ISBN: 9045103311 and #870183. I also checked the variation option (dashes, spaces, etc). The same ISBN is also listed on www.kb.nl.

In this case the item has been placed in the catalog twice and placed under two categories (comics and books) but we see that more often but it is not the issue.

The point I wanted to make is that this is an example and it has become more common for some time now that an item cannot always be found on the basis of ISBN while this is indicated.

In #870183 there was a wrong 11-digit ISBN, that's why you can't find 9045103311.
I have now corrected the ISBN and should it be findable now:

Ah, there was an 0 too many in the ISBN. The search engine cannot do anything about that.

The question remains: is it a book or a comic ? According to the text on the back, it's the latter.

Aha!, then it is solved in this case!

Point 2. It is also possible a comic because per page 3 images are shown with text underneath, just like with the Bumble books. But MG Schmidt doesn't write comics and Westendorp doesn't draw them either, does he? However, KB says: "Keyword Depot:  | comics ; children's books ; stories"
So too a comic! I will add a 3rd image later today to make it a bit clearer.

Since an item can only appear once in the catalog, it is important to combine these 2 items. Given the text on the back, which indicates that the original comic has appeared in different newspapers, I would leave this item in Comics.
But maybe there are better arguments to place this item in Books.

Apparently #2672879 has the same text, but new (colored) drawings, probably not in comic form.
I don't think we should force them together in the same section. After all, comics and illustrated books by, for example, Paulus de Boskabouter are also separated (although I don't know whether these sometimes also involve identical stories).
Arco would undoubtedly have known immediately what the right choice was.

Agree with the whole idea, but it is mainly about item #870183 and that is a reissue of the original comic strip as it appeared in the newspapers. Reason enough to keep it as a comic book.
Item #2672879 has a post-processing (coloring ) and is also clearly published in book form. This one does not belong to the comic books.

We are talking about #3099227 and #870183, which are 2 identical items to be merged. It is not about a certain series / Series that should be kept together.
The proposal was/is to place this item at Comics, no arguments have yet been heard to oppose this. Then I will merge them later.

Tante Patent is just a subtext comic like Bommel and Eric.
The fact that the story was also published in non-comic form is irrelevant.
The stories of (for example) Pa Pinkelman are also in comic and non-comics form published. One is with comics, the other with books
