+# Isbn Verifier
+
+Check if a given ISBN-10 is valid.
+
+## Functionality
+
+Given an unkown string the program should check if the provided string is a valid ISBN-10.
+Putting this into place requires some thinking about preprocessing/parsing of the string prior to calculating the check digit for the ISBN.
+
+The program should allow for ISBN-10 without the separating dashes to be verified as well.
+
+## ISBN
+
+Let's take a random ISBN-10 number, say `3-598-21508-8` for this.
+The first digit block indicates the group where the ISBN belongs. Groups can consist of shared languages, geographic regions or countries. The leading '3' signals this ISBN is from a german speaking country.
+The following number block is to identify the publisher. Since this is a three digit publisher number there is a 5 digit title number for this book.
+The last digit in the ISBN is the check digit which is used to detect read errors.
+
+The first 9 digits in the ISBN have to be between 0 and 9.
+The check digit can additionally be an 'X' to allow 10 to be a valid check digit as well.
+
+A valid ISBN-10 is calculated with this formula `(x1 * 10 + x2 * 9 + x3 * 8 + x4 * 7 + x5 * 6 + x6 * 5 + x7 * 4 + x8 * 3 + x9 * 2 + x10 * 1) mod 11 == 0`
+So for our example ISBN this means:
+(3 * 10 + 5 * 9 + 9 * 8 + 8 * 7 + 2 * 6 + 1 * 5 + 5 * 4 + 0 * 3 + 8 * 2 + 8 * 1) mod 11 = 0
+
+Which proves that the ISBN is valid.
+
+### Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
+
+For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
+
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).

+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
