Easy SELECT with OR takes a very long time. Why?

We've got a database with about 1000000 books. A query in the table
BOOKS for the TITLE 'java' is very fast. We have a fulltext index on
the column TITLE.

However, if we want to do a exact same query and include the rule that
the book with ISBN '0131016210' always should be included - then the
query take several seconds to finish:

SELECT * FROM C_BOOK WHERE MATCH(NAME) AGAINST ('java') AND (ISBN LIKE
'0%' OR ISBN LIKE '1%') OR ISBN = '0131016210'

ISBN is the PRIMARY KEY.

Is there anything I can do about this?
