ISBN

ISBN means International Standard Book Number. ISBNs give a unique identifier to every edition of a book published (and also to many book-like products, including e-books).

The Faroes ISBN system is administered at Landsbókasavnið and this is where publishers should apply when registering as an ISBN-publisher.
