Here are some common questions:
An ISBN is a 13-digit unique identification number assigned to books and other print, electronic, or multimedia publications. It is used for printed books and pamphlets containing more than four pages of text, maps, e-books, pdfs, Braille publications and audiobooks.
Each country has its own designated organisation that controls the distribution of ISBNs. In New Zealand, that is the National Library. The National Library can be contacted here. You can email them at [email protected] or phone 04 474 3074. Once the National Library issues your ISBN number, please come back to our website to order your ISBN barcode.
you will need a different barcode number and image for each separate publication. This would include different formats of the same book. For example, if you were publishing a paperback and an eBook, you would need a different number for each.
