I'm looking for the English translation of "Crying out love in the centre of the world" also known as "Socrates in love" by Kyoichi Katayama , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_in_Love .What complicates things a bit is that there is also a manga and I want the novel , not the manga. A bit of googling found 9781421501994 and 9781421501543 but I think these are for the manga. amazon has the annoying habit of putting together the reviews for different formats so you can't reliably tell from those.
So is there a reliable way to learn the ISBN for the English translation of the *novel* "Crying out love..." ?

I'm guessing there have to be websites which have an authoritative association between ISBNs and other aspects of books (author , title , format , etc.) ; perhaps websites run by publishers' associations. But I don't know of such a site and I was hoping that someone on this group might know.

"No, I swear..." stuff can on for a long time, and yet what is supposedly "sworn" to is so feeble,Yeah, "Wizard of Oz" vibes.That it's a tiresome scam which you maybe find more convincing that it is?"Oh, I've done it over and over and you find... wait..."
more feeble than the con-man has noticed, such that more and more "comes to light" about
who they are (cheaply, venally malicious jerks) and what they want (things they oughtn't to
want and *could* have by some more direct means, but are really "playing themselves
out of" with the can't-miss circular conceit).

That is... just... not terribly informative.It's not informative if you only read books that
don't have ISBNs. So what do you read that doesn't
have ISBNs?
The ISBN doesn't "individuate" the book in the sense of philosophical metaphysics.It helps tell one book from another, just like a UPC code!
It's a relatively trivial guide to different physical editions of the book, being passed off as "important" as a clue to...

Excellent question: I usually first look on Amazon (note: there are
often different ISBN's for different editions of the same book) and
failing that try the website of the local public library. Between
those two I get about 95% of the ISBN's I need (which is usually in
the context of me requesting a book for purchase at the local public
library - which they do about 75% of the time)
