In this particular case 0062190377 does not seem to be a known ISBN.
i.e. this
http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/0062190377?method=getMetadata&format=json&fl=*
leads to this:
{
"stat":"unknownId"}
I modified this function a bit to avoid this issue. It does not help
with this isbn, but gives a better error.
I assume you were looking for Seveneves: A Novel? Maybe it is too new
for xisbn. BTW: Did you read it? Is it good?
