Is it legal to change and ISBN number?: My school bookstore posts their books with different ISBN #.?

My bookstore on campus will post a different ISBN for their books so I can't get the ISBN and search for the books online. It is really annoying because they ommit just enough information (Full title and edition) so you can't look up the book at other sources. I have to go to the bookstore copy down the real ISBN and then look it up online. Is this legal?|||No.. illegal|||Of course it's legal. Not wise, but it's legal. It's their merchandise and their posting.





The best you can do is let them know how you feel about it.|||Nothing illegal about that. Sorry. So long as the book is in their possession, it is THEIR book. They can do with it what they please. Doesn't make it right, but it's perfectly legal. They're trying to prevent you from ordering the book somewhere else! Stupid campus book stores.
