ISBN-Number in the movie?

During the last final battle there was for a vew seconds a computer-monitor in the G-Force Headquater shown wich displays a ISBN-Number on the top of the screen. Unfortunately it was shown very short (1-2 seconds) so i can't remember the number (and unfortunately i have not recorded the movie, it was aired tonight here in germany).
As everyone knows, a ISBN-number identifies a book. So did someone know what this ISBN-number means? A gag by the filmcrew? Which book is coded with this ISBN-number?

"What happened mother? Why did we all run?"
"Man... was in the forest."

I was wondering about that myself, I recognized the acronym but couldn't place it at the time. Went back now and noted the numbers which seems to be:

...

GFC-17-LOC
ISBN4-257-76457-0

TOKYO-BAY
NPCS-G-FORCE

...

Then did a google search on the isbn number and got this site:

http://kazujingo.hp.infoseek.co.jp/godbook/godbook.html

On that site there's a series of items and one of them is numbered with that ISBN-code. Apparantly it's a reference to Gojira VS Supeesugojira (aka Godzilla VS Spacegodzilla). The movie immediately before Desutoroiaa.

And here's a Finnish site with a screen-shot.
