    Thirteen digit ISBNs

    Yesterday I bought my first book with a thirteen digit ISBN:
    Williams, Hugo
    Dear Room
    London: Faber, 2006
    978-0-571-23037-2
    A defining moment, indeed

    A defining moment indeed. And interesting choice of book. The title poem was one I remember Hugo workshopping in the now-extinct "Lamb" group about four years ago. Good poem. I must buy my own first 13-digit ISBN book and read the rest!

    Thanks for the comment.
    Dear Room is excellent: I seem to remember Please come late from somewhere else, though can't think where, LRB perhaps?
    Now Faber will have to revise the Collected Poems :-)
