English term or phrase: Acronyms in ISBN description

Dear colleagues,
I hope you can help me with this: I have a reference to an ISBN in a translation which includes several acronyms and looks like this:
ISBN xxx-x-xxxxxx-xx-x (pbk.: alk. paper)

I think "pbk." might refer to paperback but I'm not 100% sure.

Any suggestions and/or resources where I can search?

Thank you very much indeed
