International Standard Book Number (ISBN):
An ISBN is a 10-digit number that uniquely identifies books and similar products that are published internationally. It is used to uniquely identify one specific title, whether it is a book, Ebook or similar product from one specific publisher. This number is completely unique to that one title or edition.
You can purchase a single ISBN using this application. Or, you can get a discount by purchasing a block of 10 or more ISBNs through the ISBN website.
If you want to sell your Ebook in bookstores whether they are brick & mortar or online bookstores, you’ll need to obtain an ISBN. Once you obtain your ISBN, you can submit your title to be listed in the “Books in Print” database which is where Bookstores and Libraries refer to when they need to order a particular book from a publisher or author.
Doesn’t that sound exciting…..YOU ARE NOW AN AUTHOR!
