Bigger publishers had smaller prefixes because they needed the rest for their titles.
A smaller publisher’s might only have 3 digits for their books, limiting them to 999 titles. Let’s look at one off my shelf: 978-1-63565-102-7
This is an English language publisher with the prefix 63565. The book is the 102nd one they’ve issued. (The final number is the check digit.) (2/5)
