Can the same textbook have multiple publishers?

I'm a freshman and I'm buying textbooks for college. My school's bookstore is through Barnes and Noble. I looked up a textbook on amazon using its ISBN number (It's cheaper on amazon of course). The ISBN number, author, edition, and copyright year are all the same. The cover on amazon looks identical to the cover on Barnes and Noble. The thing is, the two books list a different publisher. On Barnes and Noble it is Cengage Learning, while on amazon it is Brooks Cole. Would I be okay if I bought the textbook from Amazon instead of from Barnes and Noble?
