| This is always the big question.
The reason why is because there is a cost associated with getting an ISBN and Barcode. However, with these easy questions you can quickly decide whether
or not you want an ISBN. |
- Do I want my
book distributed through the book industry, i.e., Amazon.com,
Barnes & Nobles, Borders, etc.? — Yes, an ISBN is needed
with Barcode.
|
- Do I want to
sell my book to my local market? — No, an ISBN is not needed.
|
- Do I want to
sell/donate my book to a library? — No, an ISBN is not needed;
however, most libraries will not buy books from sales people, libraries look for the book in Books In Print, thereby an ISBN is needed.
|
- Do I want RDMc
Publishing to list my book on their website and market it through
its internet marketing programs? — No, an ISBN is not needed
in most markets.

RDMc Publishing recommends that the author purchases an ISBN. This helps in the distribution of the book. However, because there is a cost to this service, that is directly charged to the author, we leave the decision up to the author. (Learn more about ISBN) |
