I find myself looking up books on Amazon on occasion with SBN's and
using that as a search term. It usually does not work. However,
sometimes adding a 0 in front of the number will bring up the title
with that as the ISBN. Other times that does not work either and when I
finally find the book it has an Amazon ASIN instead of an ISBN. My
point, though, is that the ISBN is often an SBN preceded by a 0 or,
perhaps, a 1. I haven't had any luck at adding additional zeros to even
shorter SBN's. Apparently when the ISBN or, then, the SBN system was
being developed in the late 1960's and early 1970's things were still
in a bit of a flux and modern databases may not have data for them.

I recently scanned a book with an SBN, not an ISBN, which contained
only 9
digits. So I did what you did, checked ISBN not available, which it
wasn't.

Fantasy by Poul Anderson.
A much better scan then my first attempt.
Bookshare and I had an argument about ISBN numbers. Bookshare
insists that
the ISBN is either ten or thirteen digits long. Unfortunately the
book
only has a seven digit number therefore I put checked ISBN not
available
and put the number in the comments to the Validater section.
