Thanks for the information - I thought that an ISBN was unique to an
edition of a book - sort of like a fingerprint on a person.

That said. I received a message back from the book's seller that he
was out of town and refunding my money. I have sent him a followup
message asking when he might be back in town to resell/ship but I am
guessing that he decided that his price was too low and needed an
excuse to not sell it. Back to the search.

Thanks Kevin.
The one you linked to has a *different* ISBN number (same: title,
author, publisher & year published);

The Canadian publisher assigned the ISBN number.

ISBN numbers are to identify the printing batch of a book. There are
times when you will find several identical new copies of a book store
with different ISBN numbers and different prices.
