But is an ISBN particular to a particular printing? As an example, I would expect all of the three volume Balintine Books printings of The Lord of the Rings to share an ISBN, but the various single volume printings would have their own. I would also of course expect different ISBNs to get assigned for different revisions of the same book. I ask out of curiosity about putting an ISBN for a later printing on a scan of an older book. If someone is actually doing an ISBN search I would think it more helpful for an older printing that has been scanned to come up than for nothing to match. On 7/26/09, Shelley L.
