Q: Isdn

wheres the best place to get an isdn number. I want to list my book as self published which seems to list the isdn numbers around $125. Is there a trusted source of isdn numbers that are not set up by con artists and people with alterior motives.

    You mean ISBN. (ISDN is an obsolete internet connection system over telephone wires.)

     

    Apple's Help page on ibooks says


    Do I need an International Standard Book Number (ISBN)?

    No, an ISBN is recommended but not required for any book you are offering on the iBooks Store. An ISBN uniquely identifies the book and its current edition, and helps you to ensure that you are marketing the right book. The ISBN is also required for reporting your book’s sales to industry reporting agencies and charting organisations.

    To obtain an ISBN in the US, contact Bowker. To obtain an ISBN outside the US, contact the International ISBN Agency.
