How do you search by isbn on ebay?

You could just put the isbn in the search terms, but it will only work if sellers include the isbn in the item description. In my experience buying books on ebay, the descriptions tend to be pretty sketchy.





If you can't find something you want on ebay, Alibris.com and Abebooks.com (if you're looking for used books) typically have full listings that include isbn, and a lot of the sellers that go on ebay also list through those two sites.

How much does it cost to get an ISBN?

Publishers buy them in blocks of 10 or more. Whatever service or company you are using to publish your book will sell you one.





The cost for 10 at isbn.org is $270.|||The ISBN is assigned to published and marketed media. You can't buy one.

1. They tend to be poorly written, with no proofreading or editing.


2. Book stores require media kits, which include information on your marketing plans, promotions, etc. Most self-publishing authors don't have any money to place ads, send out review copies, or do any real marketing. And if you can't show a bookstore you have a plan to market the book, they will not stock it.


3. Most self-published titles today are handled with print-on-demand outfits. POD titles are generally non-returnable. Book stores usually will not stock non-returnable books.


4. Bookstores generally demand discounts of 45-50% off the retail price. Self-published books generally only have a margin of 20-30%, so you can't offer them the discounts they expect.





If you are serious about publishing, you either need to spend a lot of time and money researching the industry and educating yourself on business and publishing, or seek out a traditional publisher. Self-publishing is NOT a shortcut.|||She's right. Go into a bookstore and ask them to point out any books that are self-published and they will promptly tell you that they don't carry them.

How do I get an ISBN number for my book?

If you want an ISBN for your book, you will need to go to a publisher who will contact an ISBN agency to get the number assigned to your book, and there is a cost to have an ISBN number identified with it.

|||You don't need a teacher's manual to teach the students. You need to know physics. The teacher's manual is not going to teach a teacher physics if they don't know it already.


The teacher's manual doesn't even have a solutions manual, so if you don't know how to do the problems or know the concepts, you are out of luck. Probably not a good idea to teach something you don't know about either.


All the material is in the book, all the teacher's manual does is suggest examples and give notes to why the author does things a certain way instead of another.

When a new publisher prints an out of print book does the new publisher need new ISBN numbers?

Yes The digits after the country/language designation indicate the publisher





5.1. General


A separate ISBN must be assigned to every title, or edition of a title by each publisher, but NOT to an unchanged impression or unchanged reprint of the same title in the same format by the same publisher. Revised editions require a new ISBN. A price change does not call for a new ISBN. Changes of the format induce a new ISBN. The same title being published in a series and individually is treated as two different editions.

If ISBN# match does it mean it's the exact book I'm looking for?

I saw this book on amazon, and its a book I've been looking for. Under description the number of pages differs from my previous copy. But the 13 digit ISBN is the same as my previous copy. I want to know, is the book on amazon still the book I'm looking for (which I want to be the same as my previous copy)?





Thanks in advance.|||I am under the impression that if the content changes (such as number of pages) a new ISBN should be acquired.





A book CAN use the same ISBN through multiple printings if the interior content, format, etc. all stay the same, but not if the content has undergone revisions as a new edition usually does.





In this case, if the 13 digit ISBN matches but the page counts don't, Amazon probably has the page count wrong. They have the wrong page counts on our books all the time (though it's not always their fault-- sometimes it's the publisher's!).





It's almost surely the same book.|||Every single book that is published has its own ISBN number. So, the answer to your question is yes, they are the same book. Maybe the number of pages that is written in the description is just an error. Also, for your information, the term ISBN number is redundant because ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. But it is a very common mistake.

I want to buy a book of ISBN# 9780618527441? Do I have to buy that number or ?

Or if its one or two number off i could still buy it?|||I don't understand your question, but this book corresponds to your ISBN:





http://www.amazon.com/Intermediate-Algeb鈥?/a>|||Each ISBN # is UNIQUE and identifies a specific book just like the ISBN# above is for Intermediate Algebra Functions + Graphs. So the answer to your question is no|||I would advise you buy that exact ISBN. Even one or two numbers off could be an entirely different and unrelated book. We studied this in college as part of a Mathematics degree and there is a very precise formula for finding the ISBN of a book. If that edition is unavailable or out of print check with booksellers if a newer edition has been released.

Different editions of a book will have different ISBNs. You can always check to see if both the bookstore and B%26amp;N listings have the same edition #, or stop by the bookstore just to make sure of the date of publication.|||The newer book may have been edited or stuff added or deleted.

The ISBN of the fifth edition of Elementary Numbers Theory and Its Applications is 0-32-123Q072, where Q is a digit. Find the value of Q.|||Actually, you can work it out by algebra. The last digit of a 10-digit ISBN - in this case, the '2' at the end - is a check digit. It can always be calculated from the other nine digits. If the complete ISBN is represented by "qrstuvwxyz", where each letter stands for one digit (the hyphens don't count), then





10p + 9r + 8s + 7t + 6u + 5v + 4w + 3x + 2y + z





is always evenly divisible by 11. Inserting the numbers in your example, where p = 0, r = 3, s = 2, and so on (w = Q in particular), you get





10*0 + 9*3 + 8*2 + 7*1 + 6*2 + 5*3 + 4*Q + 3*0 + 2*7 + 2


= 0 + 27 + 16 + 7 + 12 + 15 + 4Q + 0 + 14 + 2


= 4Q + 93





For that to be divisible by 11, there must be an integer n such that 4Q + 93 = 11n. That's a Diophantine equation. Since the numbers are small, you can solve it pretty quickly by trial and error. Try Q = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... until you reach a multiple of 11. It works out that with Q = 7, 4Q + 93 = 121 = 11*11. So the answer is 7.





If the numbers were too large for trial and error, there is a general technique for solving linear Diophantine equations in two variables. It involves the Euclidean algorithm. But that would take another few paragraphs to explain, so I'll stop with that.|||To find "Q" involves googling for the ISBN number. You can't work it out by some formula or other. It happens to be a 7.

From website: What is the format of the ISBN?


Every ISBN consists of ten digits and whenever it is printed it is preceded by the letters ISBN. The ten-digit number is divided into four parts of variable length, each part separated by a hyphen.

The four parts of an ISBN are as follows:


Group or country identifier which identifies a national or geographic grouping of publishers;


Publisher identifier which identifies a particular publisher within a group;


Title identifier which identifies a particular title or edition of a title;


Check digit is the single digit at the end of the ISBN which validates the ISBN.

This is because the ISBN is used by libraries and bookshops to ensure they can buy exactly the book they want - if you wanted the hardcover and got the paperback instead, you probably wouldn't be very pleased.





The text should be the same as the ISBN that your teacher told you buy, because fictional books are very rarely revised beyond correcting typos.

The purpose of the ISBN is while enabling a person to identify one title or edition of a title from one specific publisher, which is unique to that edition, also allowing for more efficient marketing of products by booksellers, libraries, universities, wholesalers and distributors.





The 10-digit (in some cases includes alphanumeric as well) ISBN number is formatted in 4-parts, each part having the following meanning:





1. Group or country identifier which identifies a national or geographic grouping of publishers;





2. Publisher identifier which identifies a particular publisher within a group;

Why do people ask for the ISBN code / number when they buy books ?

Just curious. I was selling some books on the internet and people always ask me what is the ISBN number for those books. if they want the details about the books, should they look for the author, the publisher, the edition or year of the book ? I always didn't ask them why but now thinking back about it, I am curious. Thanks.|||The ISBN number is unique to each book and instantly identifies it specifically. For example, suppose you are looking for "Pushing Your Finger into the Pencil Sharpener" by Iman Idiot, published in 1956. But there have been three new editions of the book since then, and good old Iman has written several other books with similar titles. If you identify the book with its ISBN number, there is no question about which edition it is, (this is particularly important with school books, which often go through several changes in edition), who the author is (if there are several books with very similar or even the same titles), and any other information which might be confusing or change over time.

Is there a website that compares book content of 2 versions from same author by giving the ISBN of 2 versions?

I've mistakenly purchased a brand new book that turned out to be published in Asia, same title, same authors, same edition as the version published in America, but with different ISBN number from the one published in America. I want to know if it is identical in content to the American version before I buy the American version.|||I guess the content will be the same. An author very rarely writes two versions of his or her book. However there might be an abridged version of the book, in which case a comparison would demonstrate nothing more than one being longer than the other. Usually when a book is published in different countries, the ISBN number pertains to the country rather than to the editing press, at least this is the case for some editions having presses in different countries. A book printed in Asia is very much cheaper than one printed in America. One of the reasons why an edition is present in both places is that it is cheaper in Asia.





You could check out your book at www.amazon.com. By initiating a search you would get the book you are looking for as well as the different versions if this the case. If you already have the original book, even though it is not published in America, it would be a waste of money going to buy another. If the book you are referring to is a classic, you could find it at www.gutenberg.org. It's a website where you can download books for free. The books there usually are the original, unabridged version.





Hope this helps!|||There is no such web site.





If the books you're comparing have an ISBN-10 and an ISBN-13, they'll be almost the same (with the extra numbers), and these will be the same book.





Except for any possible printing mistakes, they're going to be the same book, unless one is a translation (which is unlikely).

Does LuLu Charge you a $35 Isbn number so they become your publisher?

So then if you wanted to upload your book as an eBook onto Amazon / Barnes and Nobles you can't?|||I'm not sure about Lulu, but I know Createspace (run by Amazon), allows you the option of either getting your own ISBN OR they'll assign you one for free, but you wouldn't be able to use their ISBN if you intended to submit your story to another publisher or another self-publishing gig. I think they'll allow you to use it for an eStore, though.

How do I create an ISBN # for a book my company is publishing?

My company is publishing 1 book and we are seeking an ISBN #. I see Bowker has blocks of 10, however we only need 1 ISBN #. Any ideas?|||you do not create an ISBN. Your publisher purchases them.|||ISBN numbers are only sold in blocks of ten and only to publishers. The first numbers of an ISBN are unique to each company, so to get one not be possible. The other nine of them would belong to another publishing company and that is not how ISBN's work. Pax-C

Can I have a different ISBN for the same book?

Hi, I'm waiting for my proto-copy from createspace.com, but then I realized it doesn't have distribution to Barnes %26amp; Noble. So, I did one w/Lulu.com. I paid $99 for an ISBN, but now it says it will take 4-6 weeks before it goes online. Should I wait? Or can I have the same book published with a different ISBN through createspace.com?|||No you can not have different ISBN for the same book.


But in your case maybe it is the best to do so, to have two ISBN for the same book. You have to ask your publisher that.


I worked in EAN which are the same codes but not for books.





Publisher is the one who can answer that question.|||For a different edition, yes. Man you got ripped off. Pax-C

First you need to know how download the torrent program and start looking for the files.|||You should be able to get this through Amazon.Com but I don't think you can get it in PDF format. And these tend to cost around $40 or $50 or more.





I used Stewart for my first semester calculus and bought the solution manual and it was $40, so these are not cheap.





Good luck!

In traditional writing, is it necessary to have an ISBN no. and library of congress catalog no. ?

are writers required to have that before submitting your synopsis and book proposal to an agent?|||You get both from your publisher as a part of your standard author's contract once you have sold the book. No do not copyright your book. It makes publishers and agents feel you don't trust them. And you cannot get an ISBN anyway. They are sold in lots of ten only to publishers. Do nothing - when the book sells, all of those things are taken care of for you. Pax-C|||Nope. ISBN-10s and ISBN-13s are assigned to a title after the contract has been signed, but lately, I've been getting ISBNs without the contract signed due to rush titles.





ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number, and you shouldn't have to worry about acquiring one at all. And you don't have to worry about the LCCN, either. The editorial department applies for an application for an LC number, and after the Library of Congress has read it, assigned it all of the numbers it needs to (it's a crazy-long process), you'll get Cataloging in Publication Data (CIP) along with the LC number.





Rest easy!

Is there something that allows you to convert titles to isbn numbers?

Is there something that allows you to convert titles to isbn numbers?|||google.com|||Basically... no.





Or at least not to my knowledge. The demand for such a tool would be huge though I reckon.





The problem is you'd need a database holding all of the ISBNs and titles available which doesn't exist.





You haven't said what it is you're trying to do, but the slow way is to trawl through someting like http://www.gardners.com/gardners/default鈥?/a> or http://www.amazon.co.uk. Maybe there is some programmatical way to process the results from these websites based on the ISBN query?





As I say it all depends what you're doing...|||Even if there is, you would have to know the publisher and edition. You can have multiple ISBNs for a single title.|||No, because the title does not specify the isbn number. Plus, there could be several books with the same title that have different isbn numbers. Hence, I wouldn't think there's anything like this.|||A book is assigned an isbn number when it is published. If your are dealing with a print on demand publisher you will probably have to purchase an ISBN from the publisher. They buy them in blocks of a thousand.|||If you have just a few, why not try Amazon? Type in the book title as if you intend to buy one. They usually provide the ISBN.|||You can't, but the Library of Congress can.

Can a college put a different ISBN than the one that they said you need?

I take online classes and they tell you the books you need. They have the books you need and all you have to do is select them and you can buy them from the school. Of course I wanted to buy them used to save money but none of the ISBNs showed up anywhere on any website. I got the books from the school and the ISBNs were not even close to what they had said I needed. It sounds like a scam and it is wrong.|||It doesn't sound like a scam; it sounds like a mistake! There is a huge difference!





Okay, let me explain ISBN numbers. The initials stand for International Standard Book Number, and they are assigned by the Bureau of Standardization, not the school. They are long, complicated numbers, so it is very easy for someone keying in a number to get it wrong. Rather than looking at just the ISBN #, look at the publisher, edition, year of publication. If those are correct, then the number was just a mistake.

They're just different editions, and one was apparently cheaper to print than the other one. If you're worried, see if you can find some reviews of the product, but it seems like it would be OK as long as you trust the book seller.|||If they are different it should have something on the cover of the book in the first few pages of the book that says something like "revised", "additional content", "edited", or something that would indicate that the book has been changed.

There's an "ISBN-10" and an "ISBN-13" on most books.


Do most sites want one over the other?|||Give the 13-digit number if you have one, and the 10-digit one otherwise. The industry switched from 10-digit to 13-digit numbers in 2007, when it became apparent that we would soon run out of 10-digit numbers.

I know somewhere down the line I've heard instances where the ISBN was the same, but the edition was different. I've had it occur with some paperbacks that have reprints or new editions.





There's a good possibility this is the correct edition, but especially with textbooks, double check. If you know other specifics (pages in book, year published) you could get a better idea as well.





An email though is the best bet, and you'll probably get a response fairly quickly.|||as far as I know the ISBN is unique to any edition or variety of the book.

Last year I had about 6 board games that Amazon didn't have in their catalog, so I had to add them myself.





As long as you're certain that the product isn't in Amazon's catalog, you can add it yourself. BUT you need to have an upgraded Pro Merchant account to add items to their catalog. The Pro Merchant account costs $39.99 a month.





There are other benefits to being a PM (I've been one for a bit under 3 years), but for me the biggest benefit is being able to sell things on Amazon that nobody else has...all I need to do is add the item into Amazon.





If you are NOT a Pro Merchant, there is no way you can add this into their catalog. That's really just how Amazon works.





Sorry. Hope this helps.|||Visit a big supermarket that has barcode readers any other barcode reader would be to look for 17 digit barcodes, calculate the UPC check digit for the first 12 digits, and if it checks out correctly then you probably have a UPC+5 barcode.

The ISBN number refers to a specific version of a book.

ISBN numbers are an internationally recognized system of tracking book titles. If you were to speak to a proper publishing company or copyright lawyer, they will tell you there is a fee to register your company more than likely because the first few digits of an ISBN identify the country of the publisher and the publishing house, the other letters and numbers are for the genre I believe and perhaps the year and month or some combination like that.





Again if you plan to be a reputable company then you need to get some legal advice and not ask on something that could get you sued if the information provided to you is incorrect and you utilize it anyway.|||DR,





I don't quite understand what you're saying, but when a book is published by a publishing house, even a vanity publisher, it must have an ISBN. This is how a book is identified for sales purposes because of other books with the same title. For instance, if you do a search on amazon like this:





amazon the talisman





When it comes up, scroll down and you will see information about the book. When it was published, the number of pages, and the ISBN.

Does a ISBN number always lead you to the direct edition of a text that you need?

I am using half.com for the first time and was wondering because no edition is listed in the book I am looking for. But the ISBN num. is the same and the list price is the same as my current book store(of course half.com has a cheaper rate but can say edition 7%26amp;8 have the same ISBN number or are they different specified for that edition.|||Sometimes a company has teamed up with another

It appears that the edition with the elephant cover is by Joseph Levine and Linda Lael Miller.

Is a book without an ISBN number rare?

I have a copy of E.M. Forster's A Room with a View and it doesn't have an ISBN number. It was published in 1995 though. It says it was created for the Softback Preview by arrangement with Penguin Books and it is copyright by Book-of-the-Month Club. It was printed and bound by the Bath Press in Bath. Anybody know what that means? Or why doesn't it have an ISBN number?|||It means that it was a book club edition and was not available to buy from anywhere other than the Book-of-the-Month club. It may not necessarily be worth much, unless you can find someone who is obsessed with having a complete set of Book-of-the-Month club selections and that title happens to be one of the ones that they are looking for. The odds of finding that one person are slim though.





The book does not have an ISBN as one is not required if a book is not being sold commercially. The copyright does not belong to the author as the book is in the public domain.

Is a book's ISBN number ever removed from the library of congress catalogue?

Example: If a book has been out of print for a long time.|||Not supposed to be. ISBN numbers havent been around that long anyway, and each edition of a book has its own. Pax -C|||No.. never!|||If a library no longer has a book and doesn't intend to replace it, the bibliographic record might be at least de-activated from their online catalog; it might or might not be purged, depending on that particular library's practice %26amp; procedure. The bibliographic record would include the ISBN if the book had one. However, older books don't have ISBNs because the use of this standard number is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Can i turn a book into a pdf using its isbn?

i want to turn my textbook into a pdf. I actuslly bought thr book. its a real life book. i was wondering if there was a way that we can use the isbn to turn it into aa pdf format on your computer.|||If the publisher has done this already, you'll have to search for it online. If the publisher is selling the online version, it won't matter if you've already bought the paper version, you'll have to buy the PDF version separately.





If the publisher hasn't done this already, well, you can always scan the paper yourself -- altho that's a long, painful process with results that likely won't look very good.|||I think the amazon would have the pdf version for you, while u need to pay some money.


And u can also use some tool such as nemopdf to convert the txt into pdf format.

How does the ISBN system on books work???

Who came up with it?? What do all the numbers stand for ?? Whgy is there sometimes an X at the end??|||look the website|||The ISBN number is almost like a social security number for the book...if you have that, you actually needn't even bother with the title, just make sure that you have the number right. It is all in the Library of Congress.


I still do not know why morepeople do not know this....however it is grat when ordering a book from a bookstore!!!!!!! It is like a barcode that instantly identifies the book!!! Cool huh?|||Take this ISBN number: 0-06-623850-1

The second number is the publisher identifier number.





The third number is the title identifier number.





The last number is a check digit.|||If you ever go to Barnes and Noble or some other bookstore and ask them to mail order a book for you, it makes it SO MUCH EASIER if you already know the ISBN # of the book. You can give the store clerk the title of the book you want to be mail ordered, but there might be 8 other books with the same title. Or you might have the title and the author right, but they might accidently order the large print edition, or the abridged edition, or the book-on-tape, etc. The ISBN will get you exactly what you want...that is if you know what you want exactly.|||ISBN stands for the 'International Standard Book Number'.

I'm back again, it looks like if you don't have an ISBN that you can also enter the UPC number, I read that from their website, here is the link. http://sell.half.ebay.com/ws/web/HalfSel鈥?/a>





I hope you are able to sell your books on there. If they are really old and don't have a UPC number either, maybe you could sell them on Ebay, or Allibris.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISBN_number鈥?/a>


For stuff like this, Wiki has it right.





The SBN was created in 1966 by Gordon Foster (Trinity College, Dublin), a 9-digit number.





It stands for 'Standard Book Number.'





The ISBN was made from that:





'International Standard Book Number'





...by the International Organization for Standardization in 1970, a 10-digit number... though the UK continued the 9 digits until 1974.





Since 2007, books now have 13 digits.
