No, almost certainly they have ISBN numbers, not ISSN numbers.
See one of my earlier notes.

There are order a half-dozen of these ISxy "numbers", for books,
serials, music, audio-visual materials (including, I think,
movies) and other things,  Some near variation on DOIs(tm) are
in the process of becoming another one.   Each has a different
purpose and scope.  It is important to not get them confused,
especially since there are many circumstances in which the same
thing, or different presentation forms of the same thing, can be
assigned more than one of them.
