I= International\nS=Standard\nB=Book\nN=Number\n\nUse it to look up books in any registry or library. If you want to find a certain book the quickest way to find it is using this number. This works in library's, databases, and retail stores, etc. There is also a set of books, new edition each year, that you can find in most libraries called "Books in Print". In these you can look up books by Author, Title, and sometimes Subject, and get the ISBN number, the publisher, author, title, etc. It's a great cross reference. This system is powerful and is a great way to find information. Have fun with it. : )\n\nCalico.Kitty

Look on the back cover of the book.  Look for letters like: RL 3.2 --\nwhich usually means reading level third grade, second month.\nIf it's not on the back cover, look on the copyright page (back of the title page).\n\nIf this doesn't work type the title in amazon.com and read the reviews....... hope this helps!

Usually on the inside where all the information is first listed. you may find a row of numbers starting at 0 and going back or vice versa. The book may also say First Edition or First Trade Edition. There seem to be even new things coming out lately. If in doubt ask the bookseller.

Codes of this sort require a processing center to be meaningfull. The bar codes could be specific to a store or company which was what happened frequently in the past. Today there is a central authority where you register for a bar code. Get the code and any scanner in the world will be able to know that this code belongs to your product. ISBN is the same way but it's a number to uniquely idenifty a book. Since many books may have the exact same title. Common titles may even have authors with the same last name contained in the many people who used the same title. A seperate unique identifyer was needed. The ISBN number became that number. \n\nThere are hundreds of codes used in every day life. The codes used in the anti-theft devices, the Internet itself could not exist without the IP addressing scheme. All of these codes boil down to the same thing. To uniquely idenfify a product/product group and enable some function to be peformed on it when scanned. Social security numbers, garage door openers, cell phones, are all examples of the same thing. Just not things you'd scan in a retail store.  \n\nHow the codes are implimented depends on the media. ISBN are printed in the book and interested parties download the DB or connect directly to the DB for lookups. Some out of date libraries may still keep a paper form of the DB as well. Bar codes again are kept in a central DB where they are downloaded into the registers that will read them. It might be an airline scanning to see which luggage goes where, a clerk at a store who pops up a price and item description from the bar code or a security tag identifying who the donor of a specimin is.  The bar codes themselves are just a number. There will be a literal written number, and a representation of that number in "bar code". A series of lines who's placement and size denote a number. The reason they don't just use a number is scanning literal numbers is still even today an iffy proposisition. Back when bar codes were invented it was just not possible. The larger simpler representations of numbers that make up bar codes could be scanned and turned into electronic data very easily.
