J.
ISBN is just the NUMBER (Langusge-Publisher-Book_number-Checkdigit)

Info about the title is supplied by the Publisher (or Agent). Every format is supposed to get a Unique ISBN, The only time a ISBN is allowed to stay the same, is when the book just has another print run.
Change anything (except price) in the body, and a new ISBN should be used.

Simply stated: Ordering a ISBN gets you the same Book, not just the same title-Author.
