MORE ON NUMISMATIC BOOK ODDITIES: ISBNS AND TITLESRegarding the topics raised by David Lange, Alan Roy writes:First, a book with two ISBNs - I discovered one a few
years ago: the second edition of The Charlton Standard Catalogue of
Canadian Bank Notes 1989, card cover version. The copyright page and
back cover have different ISBN numbers. The hardcover version is not
similarly afflicted. I have also noticed that the 1979 Charlton Coin
Guide, 19th edition has an ISBN of 0889680000. Does that mean it was
the first Charlton with an ISBN? Now, a book with three very different titles: 1980, Tannahill, Cecil, An Illustrated Edition on Banking, Trade Tokens, Paper Money & Scrip Used in the Territory and Province of Saskatchewan (from the title page) or Saskatchewan Trade Tokens, Paper Money, Scrip (front cover), or Saskatchewan Numismatica (from the spine). Always confusing when I see it in a for-sale list. Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
