IMPORTANT: The cost of color books (available only for books
purchased through Lulu) is significantly more than black & white books. When you
select color printing (the Full Color option on the Publish Book page), you are
charged $0.23 for every page in the book, not just pages with color. The
printing costs for a 100-page book would be $19.53 ($15.00 printing + $4.53 setup).
Books distributed through global distribution channels are printed by LSI,
which is different from Lulu's print partner. Their setup costs are different
from those of Lulu-printed books. Back
to top What does
it cost to get a barcode and ISBN on my book? If you want to sell your
book to bookstores and libraries you will need an ISBN and barcode. The
cost for this is $59.95, which includes - A unique ISBN for your book
- A scannable Bookland-EAN bar code automatically printed on the back cover
- Your book listed in Books In Print, the searchable database that librarians,
booksellers, publishers, students, faculty, researchers, library patrons and bookstore
customers use to find the exact titles they need, and the Nielsen BookData bibliographic
database.
- The ability to take your books into the local bookstore for
them to sell
- When you purchase the Basic Distribution Service, you will
receive one year of placement in the Amazon Marketplace at no extra charge.
NOTE:
An ISBN only makes your book accessible to retail booksellers. Your book will
not be listed as "current inventory" in retail bookstores.
