Do I Need a New ISBN for a Different Book Format?
Find out when a different version of your book needs its own ISBN.
Yes. An ISBN identifies an exact book product, so if you create a different version or format of the same book, that version needs its own ISBN.
Which book formats need separate ISBNs?
Bookvault gives the following examples:
- Paperback mono
- Paperback colour
- Hardback mono
- Hardback colour
- Special Edition (foil blocked)
Each of these would need its own individual ISBN.
