What are ISBN Numbers?
ISBN is the acronym for International Standard Book Number. This 10 or 13-digit number identifies a specific book published in Canada or the United States. If you require an ISBN number we can walk you through ISBN registration, it’s a very simple procedure. ISBNs are registered by the author (Canadian applicant or USA applicant), and once an ISBN number is obtained and sent to us, we are able to provide a corresponding bar code free of charge. Note that ISBN number is not a mandatory requirement for you to publish a book or for us to print, but you will need it if it’s intend to be sold.
Book Publishing Contracts
In today’s market you have a lot of options when it comes to book publishing and maintaining creative control over your project.
