Buying ISBNs for Your Book




So, you've poured your heart and soul into your book, and now it's time to take the plunge into the publishing world! But hold up – before you hit that 'publish' button, let's talk ISBN numbers. Here's your quick and engaging guide to getting them:

  • Start with a Search: Fire up Google and type in "ISBN purchase" along with your country. It's like opening a treasure chest of possibilities!

  • Choose Wisely: Amidst the sea of options, pick a trusted site. For my fellow Americans, Bowker's My Identifiers is the go-to – it's like the golden ticket to ISBN town.

  • Crack the Code: Ever wonder what those mysterious ISBNs actually do? They're like your book's secret agent, ensuring it's easily found and recognized, no matter the format.

  • Count 'Em Up: Figure out how many ISBNs you need. Are you publishing one book or planning a whole series? Bulk might be your best bet!

  • Create Your Account: Time to sign up! But here's the secret sauce: your company name matters. It's the stamp that goes on every ISBN you buy.

  • Pick Your Pack: Single ISBN or bulk buy? Choose wisely, my friend. A pack might save you some coin in the long run.

  • Hit Checkout: Add your ISBNs to your cart and get ready to check out. Oh, and forget about buying barcodes separately – most formatting services have got you covered!

  • Register Like a Pro: Newbie? No problem! Sign up with accurate info, including your address and organization type. This is your ticket to the ISBN club!

  • Explore FAQs: Got burning questions? Check out the FAQs section. It's like a cheat sheet for all things ISBN-related.

By following these steps, you'll be armed and ready to conquer the world of ISBNs like a pro. So go ahead, dive in, and let your book spread its wings!
