The International
Standard Book Number System
ISBN User's Manual. International Edition
International ISBN Agency, Berlin 1999
The following draft was discussed and
approved by a working group of the International ISBN Agency Advisory
Board. While there is a need for a new printed version of the ISBN Users'
Manual (the third edition was published in 1986!) it seems advisable to
make the document available on the Net first in order to allow time for
additional corrections and amendments. The text can also be found at:
