Description
### Description
I have a cleaned dataset of regional Indian books published by **Book Farm** (a prominent publisher based in Kolkata specializing in Bengali literature, graphic novels, and comics). Currently, these books cannot be scanned in reading tracker apps like Bookmory because their ISBNs are missing from global open databases.
I have formatted the data to align perfectly with Open Library's schema (`isbn_13`, `title`, `authors`, `publishers`, `publish_date`, `language`) and converted the language values to standard `ben` codes.
### Dataset Details
- **Publisher:** BOOKFARM (Kolkata, India)
- **Primary Language:** Bengali (`ben`)
- **Format:** CSV (Tab/Comma Delimited)
- **Total Records:** [154 rows]
### Attached File
I have attached the fully formatted CSV file below for the community import bot to process.

Research direction
Review the attached bookfarmkolkatadatabase.csv and the repository's community import bot workflow first; the issue provides no source file or test entry point. Confirm the 154 records match the stated Open Library fields and ben language codes, then verify that the bot imports them without rejected ISBN records.
