The number on the outside rear cover is the actual ISBN number.
This verifies in site searches plus when entered as the metadata in BookShare,
the correct title is returned.
The placement of the ISBN on the rear outside cover is the only location for
the number on the actual physical book.
This book is a purchased book.
I Recently received a note from BookShare that the ISBN number is required as
part of the scan and must be on the copyright page when scanning a book.
There are many books with ISBN numbers that may not conform to this
requirement. Does this mean that these books are ineligible for BookShare?
