Anyone want 100 ISBNs at cost?

Scott Nicholson · 01-14-2013, 10:41 AM

I bought a block of 1,000 ISBNs to get my cost down to $1 per number. I don't need all of them so I am selling some blocks of 100 for $100.

Through Bowker, 100 would cost $575.

The Bowker register will list my company on the record, but using these ISBNs will NOT make me your publisher or give me any legal right to your work, and you list your publishing company in the stores as you always would (it's just like using a free Smashwords ISBN, except you own this one.)

I have used ISBNs sold/given to me by publishers and authors and have never had a problem. You don't get any widgets , bar codes, or other extras that Bowker will sell you--this is just raw numbers, useful for ebooks.

(Yes, I know you don't "need" ISBNs in most ebook markets, but I believe it is good to have them, and who knows what the future holds?)

If interested, please email me at hauntedcomputer at yahoo.com. Thanks.

But do note that Scott Nicholson will be publisher of record, as his publisher prefix is in the ISBNs. It is just like using free Smashwords ISBNs in that way.
