A unique numeric identifier assigned to a specific edition of a book, typically a hardcover version, with a white cover and potentially featuring a “T” in its title or description, allows for precise identification and retrieval within the vast global book market. This identifier acts as a digital fingerprint, differentiating it from other editions, formats, or versions of the same work.
This precise identification system benefits publishers, retailers, libraries, and readers. It streamlines inventory management, simplifies online searches, and ensures that the correct version of a book is obtained. Historically, such standardized identifiers have played a crucial role in organizing and accessing the ever-growing body of published works, facilitating bibliographical control and contributing to the efficient dissemination of knowledge. This numerical identifier is essential for accurate tracking and management within the publishing and bookselling ecosystem.
