ISBN RESEARCH

Sometimes it amazes me how much reading is required to self-publish a book. I have spent the past hour reading FAQs and forum posts on the lovely topic of ISBN numbers. lulu.com has a basic and plus ISBN service, each for a different price, and each providing different services. And while the basic package costs less money, it does not include some listings I was anticipating. And while the plus package includes such listings, it limits the size and interior hue of the book, which is not something I will compromise.

Having found unsatisfactory answers, I will continue to read until better options present themselves, I discover I truly have only the choices I dislike, or I must abandon this attempt and shut down my computer and conscious mind for a period of restoration. My mind, not the computer. Unless it crashes. The computer, not my mind.
