Does the IBN number change on a college text book with each edition?

example

Why are Green Bay Fans inbred ?
IBN 123566215

why are Green Bay fans inbred volume2
IBN 123566215? would it be a new IBN number
for each edition printed ?

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes since the "new" edition is technically speaking a different book (there would be various updates, etc within the book). It's often a big scam though, the authors/publishers get the profs to require the newest edition to kill off the used market.

Yes I thought it would be an excellent chance to show my displeasure for
that fanbase.
