ISBN Assignment

Your own number, on your own imprint.

£25per ISBN

Assignment and registration of an ISBN under your own imprint name, including barcode generation and Nielsen database registration.

An ISBN is how the trade identifies your book. Retailer-supplied free ISBNs tie the title to that retailer as publisher of record; your own keeps the imprint, and the control, with you.

We assign the number, register the full bibliographic record, and generate a print-ready barcode at the correct size and quiet-zone specification.

Every format needs its own ISBN — paperback, hardback and eBook are three separate numbers.

  • One ISBN assigned to your imprint
  • Nielsen bibliographic record registration
  • Print-ready EAN-13 barcode with price add-on
