How do you get isbn code and how much money do you pay for one isbn code?
The ISBN code or "International Standard Book Number" can be bought through various venues. If you are using a traditional publisher, they will most likely provide this service for you as part of the publishing service. If you are self publishing there are a few ways to go about obtaining the number. The first is to purchase an ISBN as part of the publishing package with the printer that you've chosen. For example, CreateSpace (owned by Amazon) provides a free ISBN, or allows you to choose custom ISBNs for nominal fees (very small fees). Your second choice is to purchase the ISBN from a reputable seller such as Bowker. Bowker sells ISBNs directly to the publisher (in this case, you). The best option is to purchase from a source such as Bowker, but to purchase a pack of ten ISBNs. One ISBN costs $125, whereas a pack of ten will cost $250. That is a huge savings if you know that you will be printing in multiple formats or have future editions (each requiring its own ISBN, mind you).
