ISBN Barcodes for Books                                         

Do you have the ISBN number already?

Yes – If you have an ISBN number for your book, you can purchase the barcode images for your number below.

No – If you don’t have an ISBN number yet, you first need to get an ISBN number from either The Fellowship of Australian Writers NSW branch or  the Australian ISBN Agency (there is a charge for these numbers). After they allocate you the ISBN number, please come back here & purchase ISBN barcode images (the vertical black bars & white spaces).

Note: Crossword books and colouring-in books do not use ISBNs. They use standard retail barcodes (EAN-13 barcodes) which can be purchased here.

Here are some common questions:

An ISBN is 13 digit unique identifier number assigned to books and other print, electronic, or multimedia publications. It is used for printed books and pamphlets containing more than four pages of text, maps, e-books, pdfs, Braille publications and audio books.

Each country has its own designated organisation that controls the distribution of ISBNs. The organisation for Australia can be found here

you will need a different barcode number and image for each separate publication. this includes different formats of the same book for example if you were publishing a paperback and an eBook you would need a different number for each.
