056775069490 is the one that I would enter


Based upon that the UPC Database shows the following for the other longer one.

Quote:
This is a Bookland ISBN code, which means it's an ISBN number encoded as an EAN/UCC-13. You can tell this by the first three digits of the EAN/UCC-13 (978). The numbers after that are the ISBN. You'll notice the last digits differ, though -- EAN/UCC-13 and ISBN calculate their check digits differently (in fact, the check 'digit' on an ISBN can be a digit or the letter X).


Also the search results for that number show no results on the http://www.upcdatabase.com/bookland.asp?upc=9780778604204 site.

But it does for the other one

Agree with Cubby. EANs starting with 978 are always intended for books.

Agreed. The 978 barcode is the "Bookland" UPC.
