About those ISBNs:
This from my publisher, Star Publish (www.starpublish.com):

"Here is the starting point:
http://www.isbn-international.org/en/index.html

You buy in blocks of 10 or 100 and up. There is not in between from 10 to 100. A person cannot buy ONE ISBN. You have to live in the USA to get ISBN's."

This is one reason that it helps to have the help of a publisher like Star. Some authors just swallow the cost of the whole ten and hope some day they will have ten published. Some figure it is best to wait to go the traditional route because of this. Others find another author who has bought ten and buy one from him or her--sort of a cooperative effort.

Hope that helps! Anyone who is interested in talking to my STAR publisher, Margie Tovrea, may reach her at starpublish04-info@yahoo.com.
