Starting your publishing company – getting ISBNs

self-publishing resources Add comments

If you are starting up a publishing company there are a few things that you will need to get.

One of those things are some ISBNs.

If you are publishing books or calendars or whatever through your company you will need ISBNs. You can buy a block of 10 or 100. Never buy a single ISBN as you cannot do that. If someone is selling you a single ISBN it means that they own a block of them and they will be listed in databases as the publisher instead of you!

Bowker is who you want to get your ISBNs from.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your help and information. I just wanted to let you know that Bowker does sell a single IBSN but it costs almost half of the 10 block value. So it is possible, it’s just not profitable. Unless people really want to sell only one book.
