| | | ISBNs are not a legal requirement for publishing or self-publishing, at least, not here in the UK. I'd suggest that it probably is a good idea to acquire one however, for the very reasons that Kit-Cat Club has pointed out. I can't help but feel that a book without an ISBN is kinda like a lighthouse with no bulb; you know it's there, it's just kinda difficult to find.
The only potential problem for acquiring an ISBN for self-publishing, is that they can only be bought in blocks, and the smallest block is 10 (costing about £60). Of course, if you could find a group of people with their own projects who want to self-publish you could presumably split the cost, then share the resulting numbers between yourselves.
You may find this a useful source of information, unless it's the site you've already mentioned trying. |
