Anyone may procure their own ISBN, but many are hesitant to learn another new process. Gregath offers assistance in many ways.
If ISBN has already been acquired, Gregath can take the publication, ISBN and user information and handle all the data entry for books in print and keeping up your ISBN registration. Services average $25.00 per single ISBN. If several need to be done at the same time, straight time can be utilized at $20.00/hour.
This service is offered without the requirement that the ISBN be listed for sale in the Gregath catalog. However, if it is genealogy or history, we highly suggest taking advantage of this free service – use the ISBN contract. Gregath can also help acquire ISBN.

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).
