ISBN

What is an ISBN?
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) code

Every book has to have an ISBN assigned to it.

The good thing with self-publishing is the sites you use to publish on usually offer you a free ISBN. I know through Smashwords, they offer it to you for free.

Now here are a few things to keep in mind about your ISBN.
- Each books needs its own ISBN, even if it is part of a series
- E-books and paperback have different ISBN, even for the same book
- You can purchase an ISBN if you do not wish to obtain one from the site you publish with
