What is an ISBN and why do you need it?
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number – it’s just the 10 or 13 digit number that is usually located on the back cover of books. ISBNs allow us to identify your books (as each title has a unique number) and therefore provide you with an accurate valuation. We can also identify your items using its EAN (European Article Number) – and this is the case when selling CDs/DVDs or games to us. This is an item’s barcode and is made up of either 12 or 13 digits. By entering either of these numbers into our selling basket, we can give you an instant valuation for your unwanted items… it’s that simple
