Where to find an ISBN number
All books printed after 1970 have been assigned a unique ISBN number. ISBN numbers are found on the back cover of most books near the UPC symbol or barcode. This 10 or 13 digit number uniquely identifies the book. For even more information, check our article on What is an ISBN?
Note: If you cannot find the book's ISBN number by the UPC or barcode, be sure to check inside the book where the copyright information is contained. Books published before 1970 will not have an ISBN number.
