Hi Sue No, the last digit is the 'check digit'. All explained at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/pda/A398982
I have the same edition of the book and I would say that £49.99 is a rather inflated price for a 25 year old paperback!

I was just about to put some books on ebay including Le Pompe 1559 when I noticed another offer of the same title they were asking a starting bid of £49.99 the reason stated was it was 1983 first edition with ISBN 0 903585 16 2 - mine is identical but I was always under the impression that the last number (i.e. 2) meant the edition, so can anyone tell me if I am correct in my assumption that someone is on the make? or have I got a book more valuable than I thought.
