That's an interesting idea, but it'd probably be kind of complicated to
implement inside Delicious itself - it's built around (and focused on)
bookmarking URLs, mostly of web pages.
Here are a couple other ways I can think of to solve this problem,
though.
When I want to bookmark a book, I usually save and tag the Amazon page
for it. I don't remember any of those Amazon links breaking, and some of
them on my wishlist are as much as a couple years old. :)
Or, you could take the Wikipedia approach. The main explanation page for
how Wikipedia handles ISBNs is at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ISBN - but my general idea is
that you could type the ISBN into
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources and bookmark the
resulting page, which gives the reader a variety of links to places for
obtaining the book. Here's an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/9780470037850Hope this helps!
