Sure, that's pretty simple to add and is supported by docbook.
Although I'm not sure how (or if) it'll appear in the generated
documentation, it'll probably need some tweaks to the boostbook xsl.
The docbook element is described here:

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/biblioid.html

It'll be something like:

    [isbn 978-0195101706]

or maybe the more generic:

    [biblioid isbn 978-0195101706]

ISBN looks good to me - generic to allow DOI etc as well looks even better -
we might eventually want to use the DOI system, for example?  This will
'future-proof' it - and make Quickbook more generally useful.
