Books have been in existence since a long time. They were the main source for written communication from the time of the ancient Sumerian and Chinese civilizations. Books were commonplace prior to the invention of movable type in China and than later in Europe. The concept of Libraries evolved gradually.

During the 20th century, librarians were concerned about keeping track of the books in the library. Through a global society called the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), they devised a series of tools including the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).

Each book is specified by an International Standard Book Number, or ISBN, which is unique to every edition of every book produced by participating publishers, world wide. An ISBN has four parts: the first part is the country code, the second the publisher code, and the third the title code. The last part is a check digit, and can take values from 0–9 and X (10). The EAN Barcodes numbers for books are derived from the ISBN by prefixing 978, for Bookland, and calculating a new check digit.

The books can be searched in the libraries via these ISBN numbers, but searching the whole library consumes lot of time and especially if reading is your hobby. The solution to this came into being when online book search engines were evolved. Most of the book comparision websites are not user friendly and are confusing, but with God’s grace finally we have a very simple yet useful book comparison website – www.gauchotexts.com. Here you can search a book, with an ISBN, Title, Author Name, Keyword.
