ISBN

The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a numeric commercial book identifier that is intended to be unique. Publishers purchase or receive ISBNs from an affiliate of the International ISBN Agency.

An ISBN is assigned to each separate edition and variation (except reprintings) of a publication. For example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book will each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is ten digits long if assigned before 2007, and thirteen digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007. The method of assigning an ISBN is nation-specific and varies between countries, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country.

The initial ISBN identification format was devised in 1967, based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) created in 1966. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108 (the 9-digit SBN code can be converted to a 10-digit ISBN by prefixing it with a zero).

Privately published books sometimes appear without an ISBN. The International ISBN Agency sometimes assigns such books ISBNs on its own initiative.

Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), identifies periodical publications such as magazines and newspapers. The International Standard Music Number (ISMN) covers musical scores.

Examples of use of ISBN
1. Still, authors from China can now cross into Hong Kong and purchase an ISBN number for $275 – and finance small press runs of 2,000 to 3,000 copies.
2. Dark Tourism – the attraction of Death and Disaster by John Lennon and Malcolm Foley is published by Continnum (ISBN 0 82464 5064 4). www.dark–tourism.org.uk
3. The technology to self–publish, using print–on–demand facilities, has been around for years but is now getting cheaper and easier with the publisher doing everything from the ISBN number to placing your tome on Amazon.
4. In An Adventure With Scientists, published by Orion, priced 7.'', ISBN number 02'7848852, which Gideon Defoe wrote, according to the jacket blurb, "to impress a girl". It is a fair bet that if you are amused by the exclamation mark in the middle of the book‘s title, you will appreciate its brand of humour, and that if you‘re not, you won‘t.
5. Beware that Google has structured the terms of its opt–out so that a major publisher can‘t just say "Don‘t include any books we have published in the last 50 years." Google demands more precise information (ISBN numbers and the like) for each particular volume.
