Questions
Where do I get an ISBN in the US?
From Bowker, the US ISBN agency. Some self-publishing platforms give you a free one, with them listed as the publisher.
Can I convert my 10-digit ISBN?
Yes. Type it with or without dashes and we convert it to 13 digits with a new check digit.
Does the barcode show the price?
Not this one. The price is a separate small barcode to the right; many publishers use 90000 for "no price".
