No. There has been no change to the Bookland EAN bar code itself or to the number encoded within it. The human-readable ISBN displayed above the Bookland EAN bar code has changed, however, with the currently printed ISBN-10 being replaced by the new ISBN-13. All books that are presently marked with the Bookland EAN bar code are correctly bar coded both for the present and the future. There is NO new bar code for books.
