It's called vanity publishing because one usually does it in vain. But hope springs eternal, doesn't it? ;-) My local book shops don't want to stock anything without an ISBN: All their inventory and sales tracking is done based on this number. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

RE: ISBN and self-published books
Do you think it would be worth it Mark, for a series of e-books? I am putting them together now, and would possibly like to go to print after the fact, so thought it might be a good idea to include it in the artwork/layout now? If so, I'll take 4 off your hands! t.x.

Re: ISBN and self-published books
David J Brooks wrote: and isbn is. Improvisational Spelling, Brooks Notation. Oh wait, it's really International Standard Book Number. It's a number you assign to a book that makes it part of the international catalogue of published works. It's needed if you hope for any kind of distribution but also helps your book show up in Internet searches, etc. You'll find the ISBN of a book listed on its copyright page and usually also on the back cover (in the form of a barcode). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
