Sometimes, and I just figured this out, libraries will send in a older book
for rebinding. When that is done, the rebindery requires, a the hard cover,
and the paperback. They combine them. So if a library book is a rebind, it
is probably a paperback with a new hard cover.
The only reason I learned about this is my copy of Five O'Clock Charlie by
Marguerite Henry which is paper back was the only one they could find, and I
got it for a pittens, so I donated it, and she is waiting for funding to
send it in to get a hard cover face lift. My paperback is in much better
shape than their hard cover was.
There are other books in my library here in Corry that have been rebound.
I have seen
HB, PBK, LIB, Trade as labels for the ISBNs, and "Set) as well.
And at this point, I am assuming that the 1 or 0 that starts the sequence
doesn't mean anything because I have had several nonfictions that were both
a 0 or a 1.
And that it isn't really the more numbers the younger the publishing date,
either. I have seen some ISBNs with only one or two numbers between dashes.

Actually, Kellie, sometimes books do have have two
ISBN numbers, but it indicates in small print what
they are. For example, My Friend Rabbit included the
ISBN number for the library binding and the one for
the trade edition. The book looked to me as if it were
the traded edition, even though it was in the library,
so that is the one I put in the ISBN space when I
submitted it. Since both were in on the copyright
page, though I left them there.
I've seen ISBN numbers for pbk edition and trade
edition in the same book, also. There could be more,
too, I suppose if the publisher wanted to inlcude the
one for LP edition if there were one.
