International Standard Book Number
Applying for ISBNs
Step 1: Instructions
ISBNs are assigned to publishers as follows: 1, 10, 100, or 1,000 numbers.
The US ISBN Agency can only assign ISBNs to publishers geographically located in the United States or its territories. If your company is not located in the United States, do not apply for ISBNs here. You cannot be assigned them.
ISBNs are emailed to publishers according to the processing option selected. Once a publisher has been assigned ISBNs, place the ISBN on the copyright page, encode it on the bar code, and place the bar code on the back cover of the book. When a title is ready to be sold, register it in Books in Print at www.bowkerlink.com.
