I've finally gotten around to trying to scan the barcodes on all of my books. I'm using Library Thing, even though it is trying really hard to be some kind of Clown-based gamified "goodreads" fucktangle when all I want is a local catalog.

Anyway, what's the deal with every paperback from the 90s having a barcode on the back that's useless? Most of the time there's a second barcode inside the cover with the actual ISBN. What brain-genius thought this was a good idea?
