Bookland barcodes are unique numbers that are printed on the covers of books. They contain the book's ISBN number and pricing information encoded using EAN 13 bar codes with a 5 digit supplementary code. (Note that a new ISBN numbering system was added in 2007 – see ISBN)
For a book with ISBN 1-234-5678-9 retailing at $19.95 in the US, the data to encode is generated by taking 978, followed by the ISBN number 12345678 (the last digit of the ISBN number is a check digit and is not included), followed by a currency digit (5 for US$) and a four digit price (51995), ie.
9781234567851995
These numbers may be entered in dLSoft products using the \ separator between the ISBN number and the supplementary, eg
1-2345-6789-0/51995
