5.3 Facsimile reprints
A separate ISBN shall be assigned to a facsimile reprint when it is produced by another
publisher or republished under the imprint of a different publisher. A separate ISBN shall
also be assigned if the same publication is published under a different imprint name by the
same publisher.
For example, 
Illustrierte Karl May Bibliographie
 by Hainer Plaul was published by Edition
Leipzig in 1988 (ISBN 3 361 00145 5). A facsimile reprint published by Saur in 1989 was
assigned a separate ISBN from that publisher's ISBN allocation (ISBN 3 598 07258 9).
5.4  Publications in different product forms
Different product forms of a publication (e.g., hardback, paperback,
Braille, audiobook,
online electronic publication) require separate ISBNs. Where electronic publications are
made available in different formats (e.g
. 
.lit, .pdf, .html, .pdb) each 
separately available
format shall be assigned a unique ISBN. 
5.5 Loose leaf publications
An ISBN should be assigned to a finite loose leaf publication 
 that is, a loose leaf
publication not intended to continue indefinitely.
Neither a loose leaf publication that is continually updated (integrating resource) nor the
individual updated sections should be assigned an ISBN (see section 13.7).
5.6 Multi volume publications
Publications may comprise more than one volume, and in these cases an ISBN must be
assigned to cover the entire set. Where individual volumes of the set are available
separately, each volume must be assigned a unique ISBN to identify it. The verso of the
title page (or an equivalent position in a non print version) in each case should clearly
display the ISBN for the set as a whole as well as the ISBN for that particular volume. 
Even if the multiple volume publication will only be available as a complete set, the
assignment of a separate ISBN to each individual volume is still recommended. Doing so
will facilitate various stages of transaction processing, including the handling of shipments
when not all volumes are simultaneously published or distributed and the supply of
replacements in the case of damaged copies.
5.7 Backlist
A publisher is required to number all backlist publications and publish the ISBNs in any
catalogues that the publisher produces whether these catalogues are in print or electronic
format. The ISBN must also appear in the first available reprint or reissue of a backlist title.
5.8 Collaborative publications
A publication issued as a joint imprint with other publishers is usually assigned an ISBN by
the publisher(s) in charge of distribution. However, it is permissible for each of the
co publishers to assign its own ISBN and display each of them on the copyright page. In
such cases, only one of these ISBNs shall be displayed as a bar code on the publication.
