ISBN Book BarcodesEAN-13 Bitmap

All books use the same International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) barcodes. These are obtained through an organisation designated within each country. If you have already got an ISBN Number and require the barcode images for it, then the images for it can be purchased below. If you don’t have an ISBN Number then you can find your country’s designated organisation here. 

ISBN Numbers can also be encoded with 5 digit price codes on the end of them. These codes can encode any price of up to ‘99.99’ and only in GBP, USD or CAD. These price codes will be picked up by some scanners and can make it easier for retailers to establish the recommended retail price for books, however most scanners do not read this code at all and it is not common practice for ISBN numbers to have this price code. If you want a price code added for your ISBN number, please indicate that you would like this, and what price and currency the price code should represent in the ‘additional information’ section when filling out your information.

Here are some common questions:

What is ISBN Barcode?

An International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a 13-digit unique identification number assigned to books and other print, electronic, or multimedia publications. It is used for printed books and pamphlets containing more than four pages of text, maps, e-books, pdfs, Braille publications and audiobooks

Where can I get an ISBN barcode number?

  Each country has its own designated organisation that controls the distribution of ISBNs. In Ethiopia, that is the Ethiopian National Archive and Library Agency (Wemezeker/ ወመዘክር). The Ethiopian National Archive and Library Agency can be contacted here. Once the Ethiopian National Archive and Library Agency issues your ISBN number, please come back to our website to order your ISBN barcode

How many ISBN barcodes do I need

You will need a different barcode number and image for each separate publication. This would include different formats of the same book. For example, if you were publishing a paperback and an eBook, you would need a different number for each.
