I am under the impression there is an obituary of Perdicaris in this issue...

@
Eddie891: I found two returns for "Perdicaris" in the Trenton Evening Times on
Ancestry, 84 on
Newspapers.com, and an indeterminate number (I can't see without activating a trial subscrption) from
Genealogy Bank. Neither of the former two appear to contain an obituary, nor any returns after 1921. The reason may (or may not) be that 1925 works are not in the public domain (1924 and prior are). —

The credit page has ISBN 0 00 217863 X.

Bruce1ee, well, neither, in a way. ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 can be converted back and forth (using
https://tools.wmflabs.org/isbn/IsbnCheckAndFormat, for instance) and the second Google Books ISBN is simply the ISBN-13 corresponding to the actual ISBN-10 (0-00-217863-X according to the copyright page of the book). Google Books often provides both the ISBN-10 and the converted ISBN-13 (and with good intentions: making sure that you can find the book regardless of which number you enter). However, citations should generally refer to the ISBN provided in the book (see
Wikipedia:ISBN#Types). The practical reason is simply that library catalogues record what is in the book and while modern library catalogues should not bother if you feed them with the ISBN-13 or the ISBN-10, there is still plenty of catalogue software around that does not support this (less so in the US/UK, more commonly in Latin America, China, India, and there's also one regional catalogue in Germany which has difficulty with the conversion). So if someone clicks the ISBN in our citation and picks their local catalogue using our ISBN special page (or copy-pastes the ISBN into their local library catalogue), we increase their chances of locating the material by providing the ISBN originally assigned to the book.

@
Pajz: Thanks for the explanation. The only problem is that when making requests here you sometimes have no choice but to use resources like Google Books to find the ISBN. —

Bruce1ee, nothing wrong with the request, but since people usually want to use the material in articles, it seemed worth pointing out :). As a general matter, I always send the copyright page along when I send scans, so that requesters can verify if the bibliographic information they have is accurate. —

Currently refining the
2nd Armoured Division (United Kingdom), with the intent to move through GA to potential FA-Class reviews. I use to own the above source, but unfortunately no longer. I know there is a chapter, unfortunately unable to use any online sources to get actual page numbers, that deals with the Afrika Korps initial offensive and their engagement with the 2nd Armoured Division/3rd Armoured Brigade. The information is an almost blow by blow account of the battle between the two, which would greatly aid the article. As I am unable to access the source locally, is anyone able to access the source and either help refine the article or provide scans? Regards

EnigmaMcmxc, sent table of contents. Please identify the relevant chapter if you can. There is no index. —

The most relevant information would be in chapter 6. If you are able to use that to aid the article, or provide scans, that would be amazing!
