Maybe it's my CS history poking through, but aren't ISBN numbers unique (or at least more unique than the publisher/title of the book)?

I'm purposefully ignoring all the other problems she has outlined with the system in place, because I can understand how they grew into being, given the complexities of shipping partial dead trees around.
