Apparently, new books feature 13-digit ISBN numbers. Change in place from January this year. Reading Matters has the details.

This post has been removed by the author.

change is happening: to expand the numbering capacity of the ISBN system and alleviate numbering shortages in certain areas of the world, AND to fully align the numbering system for books with the global EAN,UCC identification system that is widely used to identify most other consumer goods worldwide.

no impact for readers (if your book shop and/or library is prepared of this)

About me

  • I'm Echo/Lavanya
  • From Chennai, India
  • So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
