ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number.
Its a unique number for each book, just like our social security number.
It was first introduced in the UK during 1967.
Became a world-wide standard in 1972.
In its present form, a 10-digit ISBN is made up of 4 elements:
a group element, a publisher prefix, a title element, and a check digit.
Example: ISBN 1-85375-390-4.
ISBN will be changing from the present 10 digits to 13 starting from January 1st, 2007.

ISBN is an acronym for International Standard Book Number. It's used for ordering purposes (electronically) by bookstores and guarantees that the publisher sends the right title and edition of the book.

It's the International Standard Book Numbering system... I think it's what they use on bar codes and on books and that kind of thing!
