ISBN for Books Barcode FAQ
What is the difference between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13?
ISBN-13 is the current standard, starting with 978 or 979, and uses the EAN-13 barcode format. ISBN-10 is the older 10-digit format now deprecated for new publications.
Where do I get an ISBN for my book?
In India, ISBNs are issued free by the Raja Rammohun Roy National Agency for ISBN (nbn.nic.in). In the US, buy from Bowker (myidentifiers.com). In the UK, from Nielsen.
Can I put my own ISBN on a self-published book?
Yes. Self-publishers can purchase ISBNs directly. Avoid free ISBNs from print-on-demand publishers as they register the ISBN to the publisher, not you.
