Allow me to add to that answer. The reason I suspect that Bookshare would
not allow the ISBN of one edition to be used for another edition is that the
text might actually vary from one edition to another. The author might
revise and update a later edition for example, and if someone is searching by
ISBN it is likely that for some reason or another that person wants one
particular edition. I think that later printings of the same edition have the
same
ISBN. After all, just havving another print run does not by itself change
anything else about a book.

Each edition of a book should have its own ISBN and each volume of a series
should have its own ISBN. In the case of a boxed set the whole set might
have
an ISBN. As for whether an ISBN of one edition can be used for another
edition on Bookshare, I don't know Bookshare's policy on that, but I would
suspect
that it would not be allowed.

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.
