As someone who's worked in the field of used books, I can say from personal experience that's not quite true. It's pretty common to have to type in an ISBN for a variety of reasons. Many times the barcodes have been covered up or defaced, and many publications don't have barcodes in the first place.
- amelius 3y agoIt was true, for sure. But the question is, is it still true?
- bambax 3y agoSchools often ask for a specific edition of a classic book and the only way to be reasonably sure you're buying the correct one is to search by ISBN.
- amelius 3y agoWell, just copy and paste from the email you got from school. I mean, if IT can do anything, it is to solve this problem.
