Thanks for reblogging this helpful post Chris. When I published “Dalliance; A Collection of Poetry and Prose”, using Amazon Kindle in late 2014, I didn’t use an ISBN because (as Rachel correctly points out one isn’t required when publishing ebooks on Amazon). In May this year I published a print edition of “Dalliance” and took the decision not to buy an ISBN. Thus far I don’t regret my decision as the lack of an ISBN has not prevented a local book store from agreeing to stock my work. Perhaps I have been lucky as other stockists do, I understand require the presence of an ISBN prior to taking a book. Kevin

I usually buy in groups of ten (I publish a lot of non-fic tech ed books), the last time I bought a hundred for about $500. I like being in control of my own ISBNs rather than expecting someone else to track them for me.
I still have over 80 left!

Yes, Chris, they are expensive and while they have some use, it’s a racket. There is only one vender per country who is “allowed” to sell ISBNs and they can charge whatever outrageous amount they want.

Some countries offer them for free, like Canada and France. 🙂
