Purely out of interest, what are Koha and other systems meant to do with a
book that lists on its back cover separate ISBNs for different countries eg
"An Introduction to the History of Printing Types", Dowding, The British
Library & Oak Knoll Press, has "0712345779 (UK) and 1884718434 (US)" printed
on the outside.
