quote [ The Book Industry Study Group (BISG) announced last week that newly purchased ISBNs sold through Bowker will soon be sporting a 979 prefix. ]
So they need a new number space, but in practice it's a new country code? Sounds tricky.

The first 979 ISBN13s started to be used around ten years ago. 2008 if I recall correctly?
That said... Amazon still doesn't use ISBN13s in their back end systems even now. All ISBN10s. |
