(I'm not sure this question fits here but this site seems the most appropriate within stackexchange network...) I'm trying to buy a some book from NHBS (a field guide). The problem is that the same field guide is often printed in 2 versions: 1. smaller one for usage in the field, 2. bigger one for comfortable reading at home. The question is: **will both versions of the book have different ISBN, or it might happen that they have the same ISBN?** Note that the dimension is often the only difference between the two versions, the publisher, year etc. will be the same. **Does ISBN uniquely identify a book dimension?** (Background: I must order the book from NHBS (my company rules), but NHBS doesn't publish dimensions of the book. So I look up the book dimensions on Amazon and then look at the ISBN, if it's the same. But then I must know that ISBN will surely differ for both formats!)
