A few words about the structure of an ISBN (International Standard Book Number)
ISBNs are always ten digits long and are divided into four parts. For example:
0-17-006737-8 0-949155-09-8 1-86252-140-9In the examples above 0 or 1 represent the group identifier, based on national, geographic or language considerations.
The second part of the number (17, 949155, and 86252) is the publisher identifier and designates a particular publisher or group of publishers.
The third part of the number (006737, 09, and 140) is the title identifier assigned to a particular title or edition of a title.
The final digit is a computer check digit. The check digit is calculated from the preceding nine digits and is used to trap errors made in the writing or keying of the ISBN.ISBN Validator

It's ok to use spaces and/or hyphens.
When you try to buy older editions from bookshops, these books may not be listed as being authored by Osho.
Prior to February 1989 Osho's books were published under the name of Acharya Rajneesh and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
Between February 1989 and September 1989 Osho's books were published under the name of Osho Rajneesh.
After September 1989 Osho's books were published under the name of Osho.
This caused some confusion in the circles of people who create catalogs like Books in Print or shop inventories. You will find that Osho's books are listed in a variety of combinations of the names Osho, Rajneesh, Bhagwan, Shree, Sri and various misspellings.Sadly, most of Osho's words are out of print, but you might find a particular title at one of the online clearing houses for secondhand books, like abeBooks and alibris in the US or Antiqbook and ZVAB in Europe.
Or you can try some of the Osho book distributors listed here. Some import books from India, others, like VIHA, still have stock of out-of-print books.
This bibliography has been in the making since 1996. All information is in the public record. My main sources were Books in Print, the online catalogs of the worlds libraries and bookshops, and some 5,000 of the more than 300,000 webpages mentioning Osho.
The largest public collection of Osho books resides at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands, followed by the Library of Congress in the USA and the Deutsche Bibliothek in Germany.Thanks to
