ISBNs (IMPORTANT INFORMATION)

ISBNs are a means to identify each version of a published work and are required for paperback/hardback books, e-books, and each version of your book. Please review the options below:

 

KDP: A "free" ISBN is included with packages for books published through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP, owned by Amazon). However, you MUST use them as your printer per their terms of use.

 

Self-Publish: If the author wants to use a different printer, TJSPH HIGHLY SUGGESTS the author choose to be their own publisher (a true self-publish) by purchasing their own ISBN ($125.00 for each title and version). ISBNs are available on www.Bowker.com. It is highly recommended that Client researches ISBN requirements for their book to be sold in certain independent bookstores, for services obtained by some print-on-demand, and/or distribution companies.

 

TJSPH ISBN: assigns a TJSPH ISBN to the Client’s Book and thereby assigns TJSPH as the publisher of the Book. TJSPH places no restrictions on any part of the book, including but not limited to printing rights, full rights of ownership and responsibility, copyright, trademark, content, or royalties. Purchase of ISBN setup is $125.00.

​In the event the Client is in need of a new ISBN (due to changes in the interior that are deemed significant to Bowker), they are responsible for the purchase of the ISBN and its submission to TJSPH. TJSPH is not responsible for ISBNs that are not used or purchased properly by the Client.
