Is it possible for a book to have more than 2 ISBN?

I know there are 2 types of ISBN but I also found books with the same title and author on the internet but with neither of the two ISBN (ISBN-10 and ISBN-13) that I knew that book had.





Is it still possible that it's the same book?|||Each release or edition of a book has a different ISBN. Thus a paperback is going to have a different ISBN than a hardback of the same book. Also some books with the same binding will have different ISBNs depending on which printing it is (even if the publisher is the same).





Here is an example all of these ISBN-13s are the same book


9780590353403


9780545069670


9780590353427


9780439362139


9781594130007


9780439554930|||if it is a classic or sumfin then there could be two or more different publishers. in my school we had to get a certain book for literature but it had to be a faber book - i found the same book by a different publisher though with obviously - a different ISBN.


so it is possible its the same|||A book can have multiple ISBNs. You have different numbers for hardcover and softcover. Different editions have different ISBNs.
