Wikipedia:Book sources

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Owen (talk | contribs) at 18:14, 4 September 2006 ([[United States]]: add OSU). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page links to catalogs of libraries, booksellers, and other book sources where you will be able to search for the book with ISBN MAGICNUMBER.

Notes  

  • Use Special:Booksources to manually search on an ISBN.
  • Learn how to bypass this page and go to the same book source every time.
  • An ISBN identifies a specific edition of a book, and any given title may therefore have a number of different ISBNs. See xISBN below for finding other editions.
  • An ISBN registration, even one corresponding to a book page on a major book distributor database is not definite proof that such a book actually exists. A title may have been cancelled or postponed after the ISBN was assigned. Both ISBN and other registration have been abused in attempted hoaxes on Wikipedia in the past.
  • The master copy of this page is located at Wikipedia:Book sources.

Note: Searching on title can retrieve economic (unabridged) editions which may be 5-15 times cheaper, but are printed on a different type of paper and mostly contain black and white illustrations. Economic editions have a different ISBN. Also, they can be sold in and exported to a restricted set of countries.
