It absolutely SHOULD be different for both formats. That said...

If it were published by a big publisher, I'd be totally confident that it would be. But I don't know anything about the NHBS, so it's not impossible that they've gotten a little sloppy and not bothered. And Amazon is a bit worrisome because they have their own book numbering system, and tend to include the ISBN as a detail, rather than their primary identifier. So they might be a bit sloppy as well.

I looked at the books, and given the price involved, I think I'd give the company a call and make sure you're getting the right thing. Personal contact can be fun.
