Extracted from International ISBN Agency Data
Generated on August 6, 2025
Introduction
The following table lists ISBN ranges for books assigned the 978 prefix, specifically for English language books under prefixes 978-0 and 978-1, as defined by the International ISBN Agency. These prefixes are part of the 13-digit ISBN system and are primarily allocated to English-speaking regions, such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Each range specifies a registrant code and its length, which determines the number of digits allocated to the publisher and title within the ISBN. A length of 0 indicates a reserved range not currently assigned to publishers. This table is valuable for publishers, libraries, and researchers to understand the structure of ISBNs for English language publications and manage book identification effectively.

ISBN Ranges for 979 Prefix
Extracted from International ISBN Agency Data
Generated on August 6, 2025
The following table lists ISBN ranges for books with the 979 prefix, as defined by the International ISBN Agency. The 979 prefix is used for books published in countries such as France (979-10), Korea (979-11), Italy (979-12), Spain (979-13), and the United States (979-8), among others. An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a 13-digit identifier comprising a prefix (979), a registration group (e.g., 10 for France), a publisher code, a title code, and a check digit. The table details the ranges of registrant codes and their corresponding lengths, which indicate the number of digits allocated to the publisher code, with the remaining digits (excluding the check digit) used for the title code. A length of 0 signifies a reserved range with no publisher code assigned. This data, extracted from the agency’s 2025 dataset, helps publishers and researchers identify valid ISBN structures for these regions. The table is designed for clarity and can be used for cataloging, publishing, or research purposes, such as integrating with community or organizational reports.
