I've just tried isbn-to-bibtex with the isbn entry "0201500647" (Feynman
lectures on physics). It fails with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
funcall-interactively: Wrong type argument: stringp, [((url . ["http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/67451431?referer=xid"]) (publisher . "Addison-Wesley") (form . ["BA"]) (lccn . ["89000433"]) (lang . "eng") (city . "Reading, Mass.") (author . "Feynman, Leighton, Sands.") (ed . "8th print.") (year . "1996") (isbn . ["0201500647"]) ...)]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, isbn-to-bibtex-lead gets me to the right page with a bibtex
entry ready to be copied.
Julien.

thanks for the report. I think I have fixed it in a recent push.

It now gets the bibtex entry right however its behaviour is strange: it
asks twice for a file name to save. The first query seems ok but if you
give again the bib file as argument the second time, you get a worrying
message about overwriting it.

I found a (save-buffer) in the bibtex entry clean functions and took
that out. I think it solves this problem.

Actually it seems to be broken again:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
isbn-to-bibtex("0062190377" "~/enseignement/papiers/bibliography.bib")
funcall-interactively(isbn-to-bibtex "0062190377" "~/enseignement/papiers/bibliography.bib")
call-interactively(isbn-to-bibtex record nil)
command-execute(isbn-to-bibtex record)
helm-M-x(nil "isbn-to-bibtex")
funcall-interactively(helm-M-x nil "isbn-to-bibtex")
call-interactively(helm-M-x nil nil)
command-execute(helm-M-x)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Also, the first time I call it, it doesn't even prompt for the ISBN
number. When call it with point on an ISBN number, I get the ISBN
prompt, with this value already filled for all subsequent calls, but
with the same wrong-type-argument error.
Regards,
Julien.

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?
