The blocks of numbers are interesting. There are several 10-number blocks scattered through the text. The fact that the first three are identical makes me think "www", maybe?

Alot of the numbers are repeated, in the middle you can even visually see a pattern without actually looking at the numbers and letters.

Perhaps we should remove the repeated ones and see what's left, or the repeated combinations together represent one letter?

Taking a second look, I think I've got what the 10 digit numbers were supposed to represent.

Nice catch addlepated! We would have been really pulling out our hair if they had not repeated some of them!

Addleplated, I totally do not get it - one way the actual ISBN numbers "decode" to the letters of the new URL, but the other way they are book titles that just happen to have the author's name start with the right letter? Plus I don't actually see that - your list starts W-D-O-T-C-Y-E . . .-- was it scrambled too?

I only posted the first instance of each ISBN. Some are repeated. It ends up being:

Don't worry about it. You don't want to know how much time I spent trying to figure out how the book subjects could possibly have anything to do with the solve!

Ok, I get the ISBN solve but how did you get the first solve? I mean I don't understand how you assigned letters to the numbers. Confused

Was it just frequency?
