Comment on Visualizing all books of the world in ISBN-Spaceparent

Comments

Why would you expect otherwise? Titles are assigned ISBNs by publishers as they are being published. Books published simultaneously as a set might have sequential numbers, but otherwise not. Books separated by a year or more are not going to have related numbers. It's an inventory tracking mechanism, it has no other meaning.
