The 13 digit ISBN's were to bring the 10 digits into the International
standard and the only difference you should see between the 10 and 13
digits is the 978 or 979 at the beginning. Each section of the ISBN
represents things like the country, language. Wikipedia actually has a
great explanation of all the parts and how they break down.

You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where
people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of
employing wild animals as librarians.

On the ISBN's on the back of the book, what's the difference between the
ISBN-10 and the ISBN-13? One of us says it's the size, the other says
it's
whether it's a paperback or not...a cup of tea hangs on the bet!
Thanks,
