Is it possible that publishers give different ISBN when the book is printed in another country?


thanks|||Often times a publisher will create an "international" edition of a textbook, but they are the same as the "base" book. Can you provide an example? There are currently two ISBNs for every textbook, an ISBN 10 and an ISBN 13. These ISBNs should be very similar, as the ISBN 13 will generally be the ISBN 10 preceded by 978. Also, the last digit of the ISBN can be different. This is the "check digit" of the ISBN. When the last digit of the ISBN is different, it usually means that the same book was published by different publishers.|||Yes, that could be the reason. Also maybe the book was tailored for a certain school or something. That is what happened to me once. Same edition and everything but since if was tailored to a certain school, it had a different ISBN. But being overseas could be the major part of it though.|||Please Visit

The first three numbers are unique to that publisher and help identify who published the book. As for registering a copyright, if you are planning on sending your book to a publisher, don't do it.

Believe me - they have no intention of stealing your work. They receive thousands of manuscripts a day. If and when you sell your book to a publisher, as a part of your standard author's contract, you will get an ISBN and the publisher will copyright it for you.

My guess is that it's the same book. Maybe it was published once by one publisher then republished by another. The first publisher might have decided not to publish a later edition. If that's the case then the books are the same. It's been my experience that textbooks don't differ drastically between editions.





Another possibility is maybe the site you're looking at made an error in posting the ISBNs and they really are two different books. Check other sites like BN or Amazon. Half.com usually has a link that shows you different editions of a book.

1.Check with your publisher, if you used an outside company to publish your ebook. An ISBN might be included in your package, or available as an add-on.

2. Decide how many you need. If you have just one ebook, in one format, and don't plan to write any more titles, you can probably get by with a single ISBN. However, it may be cheaper to get a block of them, and you will need a separate ISBN for each version -- electronic, print, CD, etc.

Are they the same?|||Your teacher could have made an error or the book is an older edition. I use to sell textbooks for a living. I would tell you to ask your teacher prior to ordering the book. Some books update often like that. You can also ask your teacher can you get the book that is a year older. A lot of the time the information is the same, just a new pic on the cover and new book order. Usually most information in most subjects do not update like that.





To check edition years go to the publishers website or do a search that way you can see for yourself if the teacher could have made a mistake. Good Luck!

In any case, please be assured that one ISBN number obtained through R. R. Bowker is as legitimate as any other.|||Some of the digits in an ISBN identify the publisher, so it's the publisher who allocates ISBNs to books.

Do I need different ISBN numbers for translation?

Hello, I wanted to self-publish a book in English and French. Do I need to buy separate ISBN numbers for each language? Is there a way to have just one ISBN with a language code on each? Please help.|||You will need a unique ISBN for each version of the book you are publishing. The ISBN is used to identify your book with your title, author name, publisher, page count, language and the format (i.e. paperback, hardcover, ePub, eBook, audio, etc.) So each version of the book (English and French) will need it's own ISBN. From there if you are promoting the book in more than one format (which I would highly recommend, it will give you more distribution and potential for sales/buyers) each format, in it's respective language, will need it's own ISBN.





If you offer the English version in paperback and ePub = 2 ISBNs


If you offer the French version in paperback and ePub = 2 ISBNs





Total # of ISBNs in this example = 4





You can buy your ISBNs in blocks, so it is less expensive per ISBN that way. http://www.myidentifiers.com

Is the ISBN different for 2nd printing of a book?

I want to know whether a second printing (not edition) of a book receives a different ISBN.


Also, do they receive different codebars?|||Reprints of the same edition of a book should always keep the same ISBN, unless one of two things happens:





1) the book is a reprint by a different publisher than the first printing, or


2) the format is changed - for example, if the reprint is an electronic version, or if it's paper-bound instead of cloth-bound.





The barcode on a book is generated from its ISBN (through a system called Bookland EAN), so that should also stay the same.

How can I find out what a book is worth without a ISBN number?

I have mulitple books with no ISBN number and would like to know how much they are worth.|||A number of factors go into deciding the worth of a book. First, consider the author. How well known is the author? What is the demand for the writing of that author? Next, consider the content of the book, the subject matter and society's demand for the subject. After that, what is the page length, the word content of the book? Are there pictures, indexes, etc? Is there more than the actual written content matter? And finally, what is the cover like, paperback or hardback, and what are the pages like in paper type?

Does each story in a self published anthology need its own ISBN number?

I am interested in self publishing a short story anthology with a few friends, and we have a few questions that we can't seem to find answers to anywhere. (It may be that we're looking in the wrong places.)





1.) Does each short story need its own ISBN number?


2.) Does each short story need to have an official copyright?


3.) Do we have to go through a publishing house, or can we compile it by ourselves and use an independent printing company/website?|||1. No. ISBN numbers are for whole books, not for the individual stories in an anthology.


2. The copyright of a short story automatically belongs to the writer, so you would need their official permission to reproduce it in your anthology.


3. If you're self-publishing, the two options you've given amount to the same thing. All a self-publishing company does is, basically, type-set and print your book for you at your expense, just like a printer would. They may also offer proof-reading/design services at additional expense - but then, so would a design/print company.

Do ISBN numbers really make a difference when purchasing books for college courses?

So the time has come to purchase books for next semester, and to save money I've been trying to purchase books from fellow students on Craigslist, instead of the college bookstore. Nevertheless, I find that the campus bookstore lists different ISBN numbers than the ones I'm seeing people post on Craigslist, but they appear to be the exact same book, same edition, same author. Will it make a difference, or is it just the bookstore's scheme to try and trick people into thinking they're the only ones with the correct books?|||If it's really the same edition, then the difference in ISBN is probably between paperback and hardback, in which case, either one is OK. But if there are different editions, you need to make sure you get the right edition. But you apparently are aware of that already.

Where can I buy a single isbn number for under 15 dollars ?

I found a site where you could buy an isbn number for 10 bucks a while back but forgot to bookmark the site. I'm not really sure if you can buy them that cheap or not, some sites advertise they sell stuff associated to isbn but it's not the actual number. I want the isbn numbers for paperback books I will publish soon.


Thanks John|||If you are in the U.S., the only legitimate way to buy an ISBN is through Bowker. Although they sell single numbers, they are expensive. You are better off buying a block of 10. Even if you only plan to publish one book, you may (1) change your mind, (2) publish a second edition or (3) publish in additional formats, such as hardcover, paperback, audio, ebook, etc. Each will require a new ISBN.





If someone offers to sell you an individual ISBN from their block, DO NOT buy it. The ISBN identifies the publisher. The person you bought the ISBN from will get orders and inquiries about your book because they will be listed as the publisher of record.





Once you have the ISBN, you will need to get a barcode of the number. There are lots of vendors that will do that, usually for about $15. They can supply it on film, in a file or on labels.





Good luck with your book!

Will the contents in the textbook be the same?|||I can't answer your question about this specific book, but in general, take a look at the "edition" of the book. If, for example, the 2009 printing is a second edition, you want to make sure the 2008 version is the same. There is a better than likely chance that a newer edition will have updated or revised material. You may want to ask the prof if there is any specific edition of the book he wants you to read.

What is the cheapest way to get an isbn number?

I wanted to see what would be the cheapest. I found the website http://www.aardvarkglobalpublishing.com/鈥?/a>


but I read someone say not to buy a single one from another "publisher", because they would get inquires about the book.

What does it mean when a book has two ISBN numbers?

I was just wondering...I have quite a large book collection, and I've noticed that some of my books have more than one ISBN number. They look something like this on the back of the book: ISBN-13: has 13 numbers, always starts with a 9, and ISBN-10: has 10 numbers, and usually starts with either a 0 or a 1. This is only on some of my books; most have just one ISBN. Does anyone know what it means when there are two?|||On January 1, 2007, the global book industry began the transition to 13-digit ISBNs, slowly phasing out the use of 10-digit numbers. The change to 13 digits was needed in order to expand the numbering capacity of the ISBN system and alleviate numbering shortages in certain parts of the world.





However, if they choose, some publishers may display BOTH the ISBN-10 and the ISBN-13 numbers on their books, during the transition to ISBN-13. While it is preferable to print only ISBN-13 numbers, some publishers will continue dual numbering/printing until the marketplace fully completes the transition to ISBN-13--hopefully sometime in 2008. That's why we still see some books with two ISBN's.





If you had to choose a single number-format to list for promotional reasons, I would say choose the ISBN-13, because that's the number-format everyone is moving to. However, listing both numbers wouldn't hurt, until the transition is complete.|||I think I heard why they have the 10- and 13-digit ISBNs, but I forgot what they said. Both numbers take you to the same book.
