I like Roger's idea to do a search on Amazon and see how each is described. Actually, I think cloth refers to hardcover and paper refers to paperback. In the dimness of time the cardboard covers of hardcover books were coated with cloth to help them last longer (and before that it was leather). Paper, I think is short for paperback. I've seen books with both ISBNs and haven't a clue why the publishers would do it that way.

I suspect that the ISBN that you want is the one for the hardcover, not the cloth. First, how many people are likely to be able to scan a clothbound book, which I assume are less commonly found in libraries, but more likely, when two isbn's are listed, it is most common that the second applies to the edition in which the numbers both appear. Does that make any sense? In short, please use the hardcover ISBN, unless you have a concrete reason to believe that the cloth edition is the one that was scanned. Which matches your print copy? Does knowing that help you?

If my book has 2 ISBN numbers, one for cloth and one for paper (which I assume is the hard-cover book I have) should I put only the one for the one I think I have? Or should I just not put ISBN number, or should I do both? (A Actually, I don't think I've seen this before in the print book I've used for proofing, so maybe it isn't my memory at fault Cindy Join us in celebrating our 10^th Anniversary! <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniversary-celebration/> <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniversary-celebration/> TinyURL.com/752cyrs <http://TinyURL.com/752cyrs>
