Question about ISBN for books...

[gopunk]

are these numbers specific to the edition? like, if i am told i need a book for a course, can i order it from the internet by searching for books with the same ISBN, and be assured that it will be *exactly* the book that i need?

thanks!

I'm pretty sure that there is a different ISBN number for each edition of a book.

Yes, the ISBN must be unique to each edition.
