There are 3 the same books, so the booklist of 13 different books.

I guess it is ok that the current article here lists a selection 6 of them. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 22:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see there are just two titles that appear to be duplicates. As a co-author on that book I can explain - the book 'OPEN Modeling Language' was published by SIGS. SIGS then sold out their book list to Cambridge University Press who republished our book with a new ISBN. Hence the two entries.--Brianhs (talk) 02:34, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
