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.

關於國際標準書號規範依據(ISO 2108:2017)
國際標準 ISO 2108:2017《資訊與文獻 — 國際標準書號(ISBN)》 是全球圖書行業統一遵循的出版物識別規範。
標準核心原則:同一著作不同產品形態、不同版本,應當分配獨立ISBN。
1. 區分維度包含:裝幀形式(平裝、精裝)、載體形態(紙質印刷書、EPUB電子書);
2. 若出版物裁切尺寸、整體版式重新改版調整,形成實質不同的出版物版本,同樣需要申領獨立ISBN;
3. 同一套版式檔、統一開本規格,可共用單一ISBN,同時用於本地印刷與海外各大線上圖書平臺發行。本社相關ISBN分配規則,嚴格遵循ISO 2108:2017標準及國際ISBN總署《ISBN使用手冊(第七版)》執行。
