Universal import added wrong book

I used the universal import to add a book to my library. the ISBN, 978-1-916759-13-8, is a newly published book in the UK, but no one apparently has it in their catalog, so I was not able to add it through the ISBN. The title is North American OV-10 Bronco, published by Guideline Publications in their Warpaint series, #140.

I pointed the import to Guidelines page for this book at https://www.guidelinepublicationsusa.com/index.php?GOTO=987&PICFILE=987&....

The import added a completely different book, "Little Beasties Pet Portraits Unleashed Christmas special! by Nate Kpnicky (Author)" with a listed ISBN of "0123456789", which I have deleted from my books list.

Not an LT bug. LT is not responsible for the results from sources. If the source gives a bad result you can add the book manually.

I found it in the University of Oxford, so it is now in Overcat.
