How can I find new release edition of textbook?
For example, ISBN:0130930032. I would like to know when will new
edition will be released.

I must be able to search by ISBN for textbook.

Hello,

I am following up on your question. Frequently, simply entering an
ISBN number in a Google search finds the book, but here are websites
that search specifically by ISBN:

Google Book Search - Advanced Book Search
http://books.google.com/advanced_books_search?ie=UTF-8&hl=en

isbn.nu
http://isbn.nu/

isbndb.com
http://isbndb.com/

Amazon.com - Advanced Search
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ats-query-page/ref=b_tn_bh_bo/103-0326307-9387812
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/7erne
Barnes & Noble.com - Advanced Book Search

Bookfinder.com - more options
http://www.bookfinder.com/?mode=advanced&new_used=*&first_ed=&signed=&currency=USD&world_english=
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/d4m86

Thank you for your information. I really like isbn.nu
(http://isbn.nu). But other links didn't provide "Other editions" at
all.

Do you have any other websites that have "Other editions" information?

Many thanks

Hello,

I am following up on your question. New editions by definition are
published by the same publisher as earlier editions, so you will need
to go to the publisher websites. I am an academic librarian, and I do
not find any newer editions of either this title or by this author. I
describe the search approaches I use below. As a librarian, my next
suggestion is to search for newer materials on the same subject, and
the Library of Congress Subject Heading for this book is Wireless
Communication Systems.

In the case of the ISBN you gave as an example, Amazon.com lists the
publisher as "Prentice Hall PTR" and a Google search for this using
quotation marks for a phrase search finds:

Prentice Hall PTR
http://www.phptr.com/

A Title search finds that the 2002 edition you have the ISBN for is
the only one listed:

http://www.phptr.com/title/0130930032

Google also has incorporated WorldCat library catalog records, and you
can use this by searching for book titles and adding the phrase "find
in a library":

"Principles of Wireless Networks" "find in a library"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Principles+of+Wireless+Networks%22+%22find+in+a+library%22
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/bde25

The first search result listed is the WorldCat link:

http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/top3mset/9a8496e9a6f4c69ba19afeb4da09e526.html
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/cxgyg

This also shows the 2002 edition you are aware of. 

Subsequent books on the same and similar subjects may be offered by
the same publisher and/or the same author, and a similar search using
the principle author's name:

"Kaveh Pahlavan" "find in a library" - finds only earlier titles by this author:

://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Kaveh+Pahlavan%22+%22find+in+a+library%22
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/bxlqj

A search for "Wireless Communication Systems" "find in a library":

://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Wireless+Communication+Systems%22+%22find+in+a+library%22
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/duohp

Google's WorldCat access is not as thorough as the actual WorldCat
database, which you can use in most large academic libraries. Public
libraries will usually have Books in Print, which you can also use to
look up Subjects and editions Titles and Authors.

The Google Directory category for your subject is:

Computers > Internet > Protocols > Transmission Protocols > Networking
Resources > Books
://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Protocols/Transmission_Protocols/Networking_Resources/Books/
Or use: http://tinyurl.com/bt8tx

I hope this is helpful. jdb-ga

P.S. To ask if and when a new edition of a specific book might be
published, contacting the publisher is necessary. In the case of your
title, contact information for publisher Prentice Hall PTR is at:
