Boston has a long history of being the home to book lovers. It’s also the home to as many as 35 colleges and universities. Unsurprisingly, it has many bookstores where you can buy books—from bestsellers to textbooks—but also sell your old books.

Copyright law protects the exclusive rights of creators of various works: writers, artists, musicians, etc. You can’t take someone’s painting and display it in a gallery as your own; the same goes for music and books. You can’t copy and sell these works as if they are your own works, either. However, there is a limitation to copyright law: you can buy and resell the works of others—according to the first sale doctrine.

In our earlier article, we’ve covered the topic of book scouting from every angle (you can read it on our blog — The Definitive Guide to Book Scouting), and we also singled out another meaning for the term book sourcing (or book hunting), where we specifically highlighted used book hunting and reselling, as well as making a profit on second-hand books. We also mentioned the tools that book scouts use to find books and resell them most profitably (on Amazon and not only).
In the publishing industry, each book is given a unique identifier called the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). This code acts as a digital fingerprint, simplifying cataloging, distribution, and sales tracking. The ISBN system assigns meaning to the numbers, providing a range of information about the book.
As the publishing industry progresses, so does the ISBN system. It has transitioned from a 10-digit to a 13-digit format and now includes a 979 prefix to accommodate the diverse range of published materials. This blog post will explore what an ISBN is, how it came about, and its role in simplifying the complex world of books and publications.
