Your Words Deserve to Be Held

What Is an ISBN?

An ISBN is a unique 13‑digit number that identifies your book’s title, author, edition, and format. Think of it as a fingerprint for your book. Without an ISBN, most retailers and libraries cannot list your book.

Required for –

Amazon (print), IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, libraries, and bookstores.

Not required for –

Kindle e‑books (Amazon assigns its own ASIN) or selling directly from your website (though still recommended).

Why You Need an ISBN

Don’t let a missing ISBN limit your book’s potential.

Professional Credibility

Bookstores and distributors expect an ISBN.

Global Discoverability

Libraries and retailers worldwide use ISBNs to catalog books.

Separate Editions

Each format (paperback, hardcover, e‑book, audiobook) needs its own ISBN.

Ownership & Control

When you buy your own ISBN, you are listed as the publisher – not someone else.

Our ISBN Assignment Service

We make the process simple and stress‑free.

ISBN Purchase

We purchase the ISBN on your behalf from the official Nigerian ISBN agency (or international agency, if needed).

Metadata Registration

We register your book’s title, author name, publication date, price, and description in the global database.

Barcode Creation

We generate a high‑resolution barcode (EAN‑13) for your print book cover.

Publisher of Record

You are listed as the publisher (or we can list your imprint name – e.g., “BookSmart Global Publishing” if you prefer).
