>>> Why are you placing on-topic discussions on the off-topic forum?
I thought the ISBN links might be getting off-topic and did not want to
swamp the list with those links; plus, I thought that it be useful for
reference to ahve it on DCML-talk. Maybe I ought to have posted the list at
both places.
Here goes--
Here is what a search for "ISBN" turned out--
The International ISBN Agency
http://www.isbn-international.org/
No "Search" feature, though; the Directory is just that, a printed Directory
you can order.
isbn.org
http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/index.asp
But that's to apply for an ISBN in the US
isbn.nu
http://isbn.nu/welcome.html
Actually a store browser that searches for the title/author/ISBN at
different on-line stores to compare the prices
ISBN Book Directory
http://my.linkbaton.com/isbn/
Click on the range and browse/search; not exhaustive
ISBN Tools
http://isbntools.com/details.html
Same database as above; I've linked to the "Format Details" page.
ISBN Code Bar Generator
http://www.cgpp.com/bookland/isbn.html
To make your bar codes for your self-made duck book covers-- say, if you
want to print a "Quest for Tidie Brophy" cover, for instance).
There doesn't seem to be any univeral ISBN database after all-- or I haven't
found it.
Besides amazon, Barnes & Noble, ..., there's always Library databases.
The search motor of the Library of Congress, for instance:
http://catalog.loc.gov/
But they won't have the most recent books, especially comic books.
