I'm finding it difficult to parse that, so I'm not sure what the issue 
might be.  I suspect that ISBN is an integer and the value is greater 
than the length of mem which will result in a "list index out of range" 
error.

Beyond that, I'd have to see the code to let you know more.

I have a WordPress blog as well for work and ...  it's kind of a pain in 
the ass.  But...  obviously I'm biased.

I used the wbgpager plugin.  You can find more information here:

If that isn't what you're looking for, poke me and I'll see what I can do.
