+# Isbn Verifier
+
+Check if a given ISBN-10 is valid.
+
+## Functionality
+
+Given an unknown 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.
+
+## Caveats
+
+Converting from string to number can be tricky in certain languages.
+It's getting even trickier since the check-digit of an ISBN-10 can be 'X'.
+
+## Bonus tasks
+
+* Generate a valid ISBN-13 from the input ISBN-10 (and maybe verify it again with a derived verifier)
+
+* Generate valid ISBN, maybe even from a given starting ISBN
+## Rust Installation
+
+Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
+resources.
+
+## Writing the Code
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+All but the first test have been ignored.  After you get the first test to
+pass, remove the ignore flag (`#[ignore]`) from the next test and get the tests
+to pass again.  The test file is located in the `tests` directory.   You can
+also remove the ignore flag from all the tests to get them to run all at once
+if you wish.
+
+Make sure to read the [Crates and Modules](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/crates-and-modules.html) chapter if you
+haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
