Today, abbreviated, is 6/26/26. Isn’t that fun?
To thoroughly geek out about numbers, watch today’s video about the origin of the ISBN number. Yes. It is interesting.
I’ve written before about this seemingly unimportant little piece of publishing. Enjoy these other articles:
“I Is for ISBN”
“The ISBN Turns 50”
Then click on today’s video and enjoy a visual ride through the wonders of this invention.
(By the way, would anyone like to go to Bookland with me?)

To keep track of all His friends
(sorry, but I can’t resist)
did The Christ achieve His ends
by using an evangel-list?
Or are we all bar-coded,
unique to every soul,
upon tapes that are loaded
into IBMs that roll
and hum in Heaven, back and forth,
scanning through the time we spent
from our mortal start at birth
through the days that we’ve been lent
to glorify Great God above
with our deepest, brightest love?
