Welcome to the book
production source for Self
Publishing FREE ISBN & Bar Code – In Your Name!PPC Books Now Offers A FREE Single-Book ISBN – Registered In Your Name – & Bar Code, For All Books Produced! As noted in the last Book Biz newsletter, PPC Books was chosen by R.R. Bowker, the sole U.S. provider, as one of a limited number of publishing facilities to introduce their new Single-Book ISBN (International Standard Book Number). It’s designed for authors who are Self-Publishing just one book, rather than the 10-title version that everyone was previously forced to use, and it’s considerably less costly. In today’s market, just about every book except a family album gets scanned at some point-of-sale in a store. An ISBN, therefore, is realistically no longer a choice, so this new development is very much welcomed. Realizing that the additional cost of an ISBN has deterred far too many authors from Self-Publishing, PPC Books has arranged to provide a Single-Book ISBN & Bar Code free of charge for every book we produce. Is any Internet publishing company doing this? Not exactly, to put it mildly. You may have encountered Internet ads for ISBNs ranging from $15 to $50, sold – illegally, in fact – by companies who simply use their own stock of ISBNs, registering your book in their name. So whatever you pay for it is wasted money. Even more commonly, it’s assumed that a company offering Self-Publishing services on the Internet will include an ISBN; most will, but at a high price – the ownership of your book, which they also register in their corporate names, using their own ISBNs. That’s quite likely the biggest scam in publishing today. PPC Books’ offer of a Single-Book ISBN & Bar Code at no cost to you includes registering that ISBN in your name, so you retain full ownership of your book and receive all revenue from it, just as we’ve been doing all these years. Only now you save well over $100. The 10-title ISBN is still available – at a considerable discount. And the Single-Book version doesn’t preclude doing another book; it can be repeated as many times as you like – and the same offer applies: free with book production. This should be your only chance for a free ISBN & Bar Code, registered in your name, so if that cost has held you back, take advantage of this great deal to make your entry into Self-Publishing feasible. Go for it!
Editorial
OK, You’ve
Finished Your Book — Now What?
• SELF-PUBLISHING
• Internet
Vanity Publishing • Print-On-Demand Want to know the difference? Read on… Mainstream SELF-PUBLISHING *(Think that doesn’t happen? Think again: Jamise L. Dames managed to sell 30,000 copies of her Self-Published Mamma’s Baby, Daddy’s Maybe, found an agent at BookExpo in L.A., and Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, recently won an auction for her book with a six-figure bid!) Internet Vanity Print-On-Demand (P-O-D) For over 30 years we've produced quality books, newsletters and magazines for authors, as well as corporate clients. We help authors do the most viable thing in today's virtually closed mainstream book publishing market: Self Publish. By providing professional, sensitive editing, formatting, design & typesetting, proofreading, and quality printing & binding - complete book production services - we let you concentrate on the most important element - writing your book. (Please see our What We Provide feature section for further details; in the case of camera - ready books, you simply choose whichever of these services you need.) This attractive, economically Self Published book - indistinguishable from bestsellers produced by commercial book publishers - is then shipped to you (at no additional cost), ready for bookstore distribution or private use.
But that's
possible only because this is not Internet vanity
publishing - where the book's ISBN is registered in the vanity publishing
company name
so that you have virtually no control over the publishing process or, even more
importantly, the revenue from sales of your book. Indeed, with that method you
can't even market your own book. Please see our Why NOT
Choose Internet Vanity Publishing? feature section
(including
why not Print-On-Demand).
Since marketing
is vital to you, we not only make it economically practical for you to sell
books and make a decent profit (because that critical ISBN is registered in your
name), we offer assistance in that area too, including valuable distribution
contacts - plus immediate, direct sales in our Internet bookshop devoted to Small
and Self Publishers' books (where you make a normal 60% on
each sale). As you may realize, mainstream publishers are not only finding
bestsellers in Self Published books (like The Celestine
Prophecy and Rich Dad, Poor Dad), but actually using Small and Self
Publishers
as testing grounds for niche product: You establish a market for your book, then
they'll offer a contract. A professionally - produced book, then, is a potentially
hot commodity.
Don't let that
dream die! Complete and submit the Quick Quote form and see how
easily that dream might become a reality! Most quotes will be e-mailed to you
within 48 hours, and a copy of our Free Guidelines to Self
Publishing (also known as Desktop Publishing), FAQ sheet and Book Biz newsletter will be snail-mailed to you with
a quote confirmation and agreement for you to execute when you're ready to start
your book's production. Individual attention is our specialty, so we do look
forward to working closely with you on your book. And if you have any questions
about completing this form, please don't hesitate to call (727) 399-0342 for
assistance during business hours (Mon-Fri 9-5 EST).
