However, I think that the comment rather too specific (the registration record is perfectly suitable for this information; it is available online too). If this entire text is necessary, the ISBN-13 should be used because ISBN-10 is obsolete.

I agree that the comment is long. However, I don't see any good way to 
significantly shorten it without making it more ambiguous than intended.

As for the ISBN, I don't care too much. Comments are not 
machine-readable data.
