If you want your books available for sale in bookstores, libraries, or with an online retailer or wholesaler, you are going to need to Purchase an ISBN + Barcode.
You can get ISBN only without barcode, but you are going to need to add the ISBN number manually if you want to make a sell.
An ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It's a numeric identifier, but don't confuse ISBN for ISSN. ISSN stands for International Standard Serial Number and is the ISBN equivalent for serialized publications like Magazines.
If you don’t want your book available for sale, Indo Cyan can assign a SKU to your book for printing and manufacturing purposes only. If the book is not available for sale with an ISBN, then you will be the only person capable of ordering a copy of your book. You might select this option if you’re printing a book for personal use or as a gift for a friend.
Indo Cyan does not currently sell ISBNs. But you can buy ISBNs from the official source for the United States. Purchasing an ISBN means you'll be your own publisher and the owner of a unique number which can never be re-published. If you choose to produce your publication in multiple formats (e.g. Hardcover and Perfect Bound), they will each need their own ISBN. The same rule applies if your publication is an updated version of a previous edition.
When you've purchased your ISBN(s), you can log in to the ISBN website and register the title and format. ISBNs will also help you track your sales, and you may find it helpful to log your ISBNs in a spreadsheet for reference.
Once you purchased the ISBN + Barcode you can send all your information below to order copies of your books.
