January 2012 E-Zine (V11#12): Design Thursday, Dec 29 2011 

A Gregath Company, Inc. ISBN can be used for any publication through Gregath for the author/copyright holder. The flat fee* for this add-on publishing service is $20.00. In addition to this flat usage/filing fee, the book must contain the elements the ISBN agency requires. This may also add further costs to publishing, depending on the project. To utilize this flat fee service, the client understands:

  • Have a correctly completed ISBN Advertising Release on file, at Gregath, before published book delivery.

  • Assigned ISBN to be printed inside the book, near the Copyright information.

  • Assigned ISBN to be added to the bottom of the back cover for hard copy books.

The most frequently noted limitation with Gregath ISBN is the ISBN/book is listed out of print if it is published elsewhere, as a Gregath ISBN can not be used with another printer or publisher (author owned ISBN may be printed anywhere, as long as the design and format are consistent).

*This fee is waived with Smashwords electronic editions and traditional publishing of at least 100 books (upon request).

When considering a page number strategy, the following considerations may also influence your choice:

  • Traditionally plates (fine art, etc.) are un-numbered inserts printed on one side only and have their own table of contents. Furthermore, tradition allows these to be a heavier or different quality paper – causing issues in the long term quality of the book binding.
