British and American editions occasionally differ enough to warrant entirely separate typesetting, but often to save money the same text is shared between British and American publishers.

From: "Stephen Hedges" <shedges@skemotah.com> ... Roger, I don't think I've ever seen anything like what you describe. (I always assumed the 'I' in 'ISBN' really meant "international!") Is this fairly common outside the US?
MARC records let you repeat the ISBN tag. Koha doesn't.
I see from inside the book that there are actually 4 ISBNs, US and UK and cased and paperback ... And the LoC details are also printed on that page. Thanks for the explanations. r. -- Roger Horne, 11 New Square, Lincoln's Inn, London WC2A 3QB mailto:roger@hrothgar.co.uk
