The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier.
An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation (except reprintings) of a book. For example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, and 10 digits long if assigned before 2007. The method of assigning an ISBN is nation-based and varies from country to country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country.
The initial ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) created in 1966. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108 (the SBN code can be converted to a ten digit ISBN by prefixing it with a zero).
Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure; however, this can be rectified later.
http://www.brucejonesdesign.com ISBN Numbers, Do we need them, Yes or NO?, what are the and how do they work? It is kind of mixed, ISBN which stands for International Standard Book Number and is manged by Bowker.com, and are the numbers that are used to track print books and help with distribution. You have to have one if you are going to be distributed to bookstores. They also indicate who the publisher is. They cost $125 each but you can reduce the cost if you buy a bundle of them. Most of the major print on demand companies, CreateSpace.com, Lulu.com, Blurb.com will supply ISBN numbers for free when you use their services, but you will have their name as the publisher.

Every book needs an ISBN here is how to get one for your book. As an author's assistant this is one of the many tasks you can perform for your author client.
UPDATE: As of June 2016 Createspace eliminated their $10 option. Therefore, buying bulk ISBNs at myidentifiers.com might be the best option for you if you plan on publishing multiple books. I received this question for my "Ask Shelley" videos: I published my first book on createspace, using their ISBN. I will be publishing Volume 2, and want to use a "non-createspace" ISBN number. Is this ok to do?

http://www.havemoreinfluence.com/ When you're going to self publish your book if you plan to sell it anywhere besides your website or your events you'll need an ISBN number. Julie Broad, author of Amazon #1 Best Selling self-published book More Than Cashflow, explains what it is, why it matters and where you get one in Canada.
I answer an irate email from a follower regarding buying #ISBNs. He bought 1 for an ebook he published. When he wanted to turn that ebook into a paperback, he thought he could use the same ISBN. Remember, you must buy an ISBN for the each format of your book. If you want to make your book The Thorns of Lillies into an ebook, paperback, hard cover, or audiobook, you must have a SEPARATE ISBN for each. If you wrote a book 10 years ago and you want to update the information to keep up with the times, you must use a SEPARATE ISBN. If you have a Thriller Series, each book in that series must have a separate ISBN Number. With that being said, NEVER, EVER, EVER buy JUT 1 ISBN, buy at LEAST 10. 1 ISBN will cost your $125, but $250 will get you 10. I can guarantee you that you will need more than 1...
The process for applying for an ISBN in India is through the website www.isbn.gov.in. This website was launched on April 7th, 2016. The site is functional but barely, in this video I show some of the typical challenges encountered while applying for ISBN. Overall, I would rate it as a work in progress. The site has its shortcomings, but it works. I was able to get an ISBN within six weeks of applying. This How To Apply for an ISBN in India Video was made purely out of some trials and errors that I made while reviewing the site. In episode 6 of the MyKitaab Podcast author and entrepreneur Kavita Kapoor and I discuss exactly such a site (www.mykitaab.in/kavita)!

I started talking about whether you need a publishing imprint, logo or 'button' for your book cover; but also talk about getting ISBNs, whether they should be registered to your publisher name (whether or not you even need one), and how to get a barcode made for free. (You can use the free tool on my site for that: http://www.bookcovers.creativindie.com).
