What is the difference between 2 different isbn # of the same book?

And are the main idea of those books different?


|||Books can have different editions, different forwards, etc.





Or it could be the difference between paperback and hardback.





Ask the bookstore what the difference is and if you can return it if it is not what you want.|||sometimes there is an ISBN with 10 numbers or 13


The 10 system is the original cataloging number, the 13 is the new one since 2007.


Periodicals or a book series also has an ISSN number along with the ISBN. ISBN identifies a specific year of publication while ISSN identifies an ongoing series.|||One is proabably hard cover or paperback, or one is a special release with bookc lub notes or something like that. The story will be the same, it's just a way to distingusih between products.|||-magikou- hopeless romantic is right. It's not dependent on hardcover vs. paperback, and it's usually the isbn 13 that'll work in a bookstore computer system
