Some of this can be done by checking the ISBN. If it

should be mentioned. If it is there, it can be checked. We had several
cases with fake ISBNs which led to the discovery of fake articles.
Bear in mind that the average moderately-obscure English-lanugage book
has at least two ISBNs, four is very common, and cases of several
dozen are known. Requiring an ISBN is in many ways misleadingly
precise...
(but I concur that a broken ISBN is a good trap for silliness)
