Oh oh oh, I didn't specify my Q enough: I'd like to have the ISBN number in the reference list in a scanned document, I'm sorry! 
And I don't know which field to use doing so, when manually typing in a reference in my database. Hope my Q makes sense now...
However, inspired by your advice, I found "References" in Preferences, and even though choosing 'book' in both columns the 'Apply' button doesn't get active - but maybe that isn't the right place to modify BE acc. to my request...

Well, I should probably refer you to the manual… 
(Which can be downloaded on this site: http://www.sonnysoftware.com/BookendsUserGuide.pdf.zip)
You have to choose the appropriate formatting for your output (Check out the Biblio menu, there you'll find quite a few options regarding the output formatting of your bibliography.
I do not know which formats will put the ISBN numbers into the bibliography (except for DIN 1505 - which will be in German…)
Since there are so many options, I would definitely recommmend taking a look at the manual.

Just to make sure we're all talking about the samet thing:
The ISSN or ISBN number belongs in field User6. This is usually assigned the label ISSN/ISBN. It is in the drawer -- click on the drawer icon in the upper right corner of the reference window to reveal it.
To output this number in a format you would enter
u6
in the Order field (whereever you want it to go).
