ISBN Assignment Service

Description

The ISBN serves as a unique identifier for a book or similar product (such as an audiobook), providing information about its format, edition, and publisher.

Barcodes are mandatory when selling printed books through major retailers. The advantage of obtaining an ISBN from us is that you will gain access to a web-based tool that allows you to generate ISBN barcodes for free. You can generate an unlimited number of barcodes in the PNG file format. To generate a barcode, you will need an ISBN code.

Why should I purchase an ISBN?

There are numerous reasons to obtain an ISBN for your title, including:

1. An ISBN increases the chances of your book being discovered and purchased.
2. An ISBN links to essential information about your book.
3. An ISBN facilitates more efficient marketing and distribution of your title.
4. Most retailers require ISBNs.
5. Correct use of the ISBN enables clear differentiation between different product forms and editions of a book, whether in print or digital format, ensuring that customers receive the desired version.
6. An ISBN ensures that information about your book is stored in the Books In Print database.
7. Publishers, retailers, and libraries worldwide use ISBN when seeking title information.
8. While the ISBN does not provide legal or copyright protection, its use for publications is mandated by law in certain countries.
9. In some countries, books without an ISBN may incur higher taxes.
10. ISBNs are the global standard for book identification.

How many ISBNs do I need?

You will require one ISBN for each edition and format of your book. The ISBN identifies both the publisher and the specific book title, edition, and format (such as hardback, paperback, ePub, PDF, Mobi, Audio…). Any variation of a book necessitates a unique ISBN to accurately identify it. This enables retailers to assist customers in determining the exact version of a title they are purchasing. Therefore, consider the following:

1. The number of book titles you intend to publish.
2. The number of formats in which each title will be released.
3. Whether you plan to publish revised editions of these titles in the future.

Also, keep in mind:

1. You can purchase ISBNs in advance and register your titles at any time after obtaining them.
2. ISBNs never expire.
