In case of a multi volume Title, there is separate ISBN for every volume and usually with a set ISBN printed normally in the 1st Volume.

In case of multiple copies of the same Title, there is no unique number. However from Library point of view we can assign unique accession number for evry copies.

Hope this answers your query.

Obviously accession  number is the individualizing device of any material in the library. However, if you look through classification perspectives, it is the Book Number by which you have to individualize each book. In CC 6, The Chronological Device is being used to identify the currency of the book while a digit is used to individualize each copy/ volume. eg.

N91;1 - Published in 1991 2nd Book

N91;10 - Published in 1991 11th Book. etc.

This is fact that Accession Number is unique identity for a Book in the Library,But my question was related to the publishers Side that how they can asign the number of a particular book.This questio was asked in an interview from me.
