Read this result carefully

The selected LC record places this memoir in the 200s with 270.092. The saved Harvard record associated with the same ISBN instead gives 305.90692, in social sciences. This difference illustrates why a memoir does not have one automatic biography number and why source, version and local practice need checking. This page preserves the LC value as one catalogue observation, not as a ruling that the other record is wrong.

The record lists a valid ISBN associated with this edition. That does not independently verify every metadata field, establish a universal number for every version, or give the complete local shelf location. Compare the source with your copy.
