Are you ready for 13??

Okay, we all know it's coming--well, most of us do.

Yes, the heavily required publication and categorization ISBN will soon be changing from the present day count of ten into a 13 digit coding instead.

Of course, it can be a confusing transition for all involved in the industry however our friendly folks over at the Book Industry Study Group have prepared a handy little e-document that will answer many of the posed questions.

Titled "ISBN-13 For Dummies®," the "document details what an ISBN is, how an ISBN is used, and what the components of an ISBN are."

And not just that, but it "also explains the January 2007 transition of the ISBN from a 10-digit number to a 13-digit number in easy to understand language."

This FREE Adobe file is available for one and all and you can find it at: http://www.bisg.org/isbn-13/for.dummies.html
