Quick Facts
About ISBN, EAN, SAN, CIP
What's Important and What's Not

As you wrap up the writing and are thinking about printing your book, you begin to hear about lots of potentially confusing requirements.  Here's our "cheat sheet" to simplify it all.

ISBN   You do need an ISBN number and bar code if you plan to sell your books in a bookstore.

EAN   This is the same thing as an ISBN bar code.

SAN   You do not need a SAN.

CIP  You do not need a Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication number

PCN  You do not need a Library of Congress Pre-assigned Control Number

Copyright  You own the copyright as soon as you originate the material. You register your copyright after your books are printed.

Library of Congress Depository Requirement  You can meet this requirement as you register your copyright, with one submission.
