ISBN Services: questions
Should I buy a single ISBN or a block of ten?
A single ISBN covers one format of one book. A block of ten makes sense if you plan a paperback, a hardcover and an ebook, or more than one title, because every format needs its own number. Custom imprint options are also available.
Where does the barcode go on my cover?
On the back cover, usually bottom right, with clear space around it so it scans. We generate the barcode from your ISBN and supply it in a print-ready file your cover designer can drop straight into the layout.
How long does it take to get my ISBN?
Anywhere from immediate to 5 business days, depending on the option you choose and how fast the registration details come back. Registration assistance, barcode generation and metadata setup are all part of the service.
