NUMBERS & CODES

The ISBN Number

An International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique 13-digit number, which ensures that your book can be identified throughout the world. The allocation of an ISBN in Australia is managed by Thorpe Bibliographic Services. We can obtain an ISBN number on your behalf.

The Bar Code

A barcode is something you will need to consider when designing your cover. A barcode containing the ISBN can be used to easily identify, organise, and sell books. Success Print is able to add a barcode to your book to make it more appealing to retailers and libraries.

All Barcodes Must Be

  • On the outside back cover.
  • In the lower right-hand corner.
  • At least 5mm from the spine and base of the book.
  • Printed in a colour that is able to be read by a barcode scanner.
