There are situations where a book does not provide a full 10-digit ISBN, e.g.
In the first case, we simply extract the SBN 44006254 [the suffix 095 indicated the price] , prefix it with a zero (044006254),
then append a check-digit (0440062543).
Now how do we get that check-digit? Simple: enter the 9-digit number in the form below and hit the Enter key. (JavaScript must be enabled in your browser.)
Use Ctrl+C to copy, or Ctrl+X to cut the full ISBN from the form.
In the second case, where we only have a book number, e.g. C1887, we extract the number and pad it with zeros until we have 5 digits (01887). Next we add the publisher prefix*; in this case '0140' for Penguin Books, and already we have a 9-digit number (0140001887) that we can feed into the form above, which will return the full ISBN (0140018875).
