ISBN 國際標準書號規範




Reference: ISO 2108:2017 (International Standard Book Number)

 

ISO 2108:2017 Information and documentation International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is the globally recognised specification for book identification.


Core rule: Each distinct edition, format or product form of a work requires a separate ISBN.

 

- Different binding types (Paperback / Hardcover) are separate publications;

 

- Digital publications (EPUB e-books) count as independent product formats;

 

- Material revision including changed trim size and full re-layout creates a new edition, requiring a new ISBN. Identical layout and trim size may share one ISBN for local printing and global online distribution platforms.

 

Our ISBN allocation policy complies with ISO 2108:2017 and the official ISBN Users Manual (7th Edition) issued by the International ISBN Agency.
