Incorrect release dates on books?

Nick Honeywell 18 years, 8 months ago at Sep 28 20:12 -
A number of my books are old enough (1960s or earlier) that they don't have ISBNs, so I have to search for them by title and add them that way if I can (don't know about Amazon.com but Amazon.co.uk seem to be very good at having such old books in their catalogue, presumably for marketplace sellers to be able to sell these books).

However it seems to be the case that Listal thinks the earliest a book can be published is 1970 and will use that year instead of any earlier year, even if the earlier year is stated on Amazon.co.uk.

Multiple examples to provide something vaguely resembling a representative sample:

[Link removed - login to see] - 1966 on Amazon.co.uk
[Link removed - login to see] - 1963
[Link removed - login to see] - 1927
[Link removed - login to see] - 1966

Wouldn't think this is necessarily something worth fixing at this early stage, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
