1. Self Publishing - ISBN, Printing and Production
ISBN
Make your book look thoroughly professional by having an ISBN number. This is not
compulsory but it is certainly advisable if you intend to sell your title through bookshops.
All you have to do is apply and pay the fee for a block of ten numbers (it is not possible to
purchase single numbers). Contact:

Printing and Production
There are many companies willing to print and bind books. You may well want to seek several
quotations but do be careful that your chosen company is well-established and experienced. I
shopped around and found a company which is highly competitive as far as price is concerned,
completely competent and, importantly, very pleasant in their dealings.
The company is

Bumper�s Farm,
Chippenham,
