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 the Australian ISBN Agency (there is a charge for these numbers). After they allocate 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 a 13 digit unique identification 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 audiobooks.

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 2 ISBNs..
