What is ISBN?
ISBN stands for "International Standard Book Number." Every book sold anywhere in the world should have a unique ISBN, meaning you can find any book in the world simply with that one number, which is never duplicated. It's a 10-digit identification system. The ISBN refers to the specific edition (e.g. trade paperback, mass market paperback) and is usually located on the back of the book and on the copyright page.

Why do some book titles appear more than once in a search result?
Some book titles are shown twice or thrice in a single search results because of various reasons. The same title could be available for a different price internationally and it could also be available at a special price. Or the same title could be available in paperback as well as hardcover versions. Or the same title could be available in different editions. All you need to do is select the one that
suits you the best.
