What is an ISBN?
An International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric identifier used for commercial books and other publications.
ISBNs are crucial in the publishing industry, serving as a standardized method for identifying books. They come in two formats: ISBN-10 (10 digits) and ISBN-13 (13 digits). Each ISBN is unique to a specific edition of a book, allowing for efficient tracking, ordering, and inventory management in the book trade.
