UPC are 10 digits and sometimes have the supplemental.
The first 5 digits are the publisher, the rest is the PRICE.
Big variety stores love this. They don't track titles, only price and vender (sales). (The jobber worries about the titles)
The supplemental as a subset (some part of the book number) of the ISBN.
Sometimes there are 2 bar codes. Always scan the one that stars with 978
