The UABN also serves as a development centre for the literature and library sector and promotes strong cooperation in the field, on not for profit status.
ISBNs and UBN are allotted to publishers. Books on stores are usually published by the publishers, authors or their relatives individually. Earlier ISBNs and UBNs were allotted only in blocks.

Getting a UBN, costs nominal charges. You need to send an application to email at ubnenquiry@gmail.com for UBN. Raja Rammohan Roy National Agency delays the entire publication process of your book and responds after 10 months or even later, or even may never respond.

I want to publish a book on surgery. It will be helpful for MBBS and MS/ MD Students. What should I do for high sales and better online visibility?
Reply
You should sell it on various online platforms available Hyatt Book Store, Amazon , eBAY Photon eBooks, Google Play Store etc. For better visibility of your book, you should have UBN (UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER) on it. Book sellers searches the book by UBN. Whenever customers demand book on physical and online stores, it needs UBN (UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER). Without UBN you miss lots of online traffic and worldwide sales.

1. What do all the numbers mean?
See my earlier articles on decoding the UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN.
2. Why do we need UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER
(UBN) / ISBNs?
We need them to identify each book that is published, and each edition of the
same book. UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN
also identifies the publisher of the book. It is the standard ID number used to
identify books by booksellers, libraries, book wholesalers and distributors.
3. Should I get an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
If you plan to sell your book in bookstores, to libraries, or through online
retailers like Amazon.com, you will need an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN. You can purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com
4. Does a book have to be published to have an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER
(UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBNs are issued to
publishers, who then assign them to individual books. This can be done at any
time, even before the book is written.
5. Is the UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN the bar code I see on the back of books?
The bar code is a representation of the UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN in a form that can be identified by scanners. The bar
code might also have other information embedded in it, like the price of the
book and the currency in which it is priced.
6. Okay, do I need to have a bar code too?
Only if you plan to sell your book in bookstores. If you only plan to sell
online, or privately like at speaking engagements, you don’t need a bar code.
Many publishers put them on their books anyway.
7. If I get an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER
(UBN) / ISBN, does that mean my book is copyrighted?
No, UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN is
administered by private company / body for the use of the international book trade.
Copyright is administered by the Library of Congress and is an extension of intellectual property law.
8. If I have an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER
(UBN) / ISBN, does that mean my book will be in Books in Print?
Once you have an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN you can go to BowkerLink to fill out the forms necessary for your book to be listed in Books in Print.
9. Can self-publishers get an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
A self-publisher is still a publisher, so yes, you just apply for an UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN like anyone else. You can purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com
10. How do I get an UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
Go to myidentifiers.com,
You can purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com . ISBN website is
run by Bowker, which is the company authorized to administer
ISBN program in the United
States, alternatively You can purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com for Book sales/ publication in United States. Click on “UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN Identifiers” and you’ll be taken to a page where you can buy 1, 10, 100 or
1000 UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBNs, or simply email at ubnenquiry@gmail.com .
11. How many UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN)
/ ISBNs should I buy?
The least economical choice is to buy 1 UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN. If you ever publish another edition of your book, or
another book entirely, you will need more than one UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN. I suggest you buy the 10 pack.
12. What do UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
/ ISBNs cost?
A single UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN today
costs $125, while 10 UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN)
/ ISBNs cost $250, 100 cost $575 and 1000 cost $1000. Note that the price per UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN drops from $125 to $25
to $5.75 to $1.
13. Isn’t it just a number? Why does a number cost $125?
Many people are pondering this question, so far without an answer. Obviously,
it’s not because of the cost of the product. Could there be another reason?
14. Well, can I re-use my UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
No, sorry, once assigned to a book, an UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN can never be reused.
15. Where do I put the UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
You’ll print it on the copyright page, and it’s included in the
Cataloging-in-Publication data block, if you use one. Otherwise, just print it
on the copyright page and, of course, on the back cover as part of the bar
code. For more information Email at ubnenquiry@gmail.com
16. I’m doing a print book and an ebook. Do I need two UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBNs, or can I use the same one?
This is a matter of some discussion at the moment, since there are more and
more electronic formats. The policy of assigning a separate UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) /ISBN to each and every edition is
under review. Check back for more info.
17. How about a hardcover and a softcover of the same book?
You need a separate UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN for each edition, to identify them for everyone who might want to find
them in directories, catalogs and databases. Directly purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com
18. If I revise my book, do I need to give it a new UNIVERSAL BOOK
NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN?
If you only correct typographical errors, and don’t make any substantial
changes to the text, you don’t need a new UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN because it’s considered a reprint. A new edition would
contain substantially new material, a major revision, or the addition of
completely new elements. Anything that makes it a new book is likely to create
a new edition and, therefore, need a new UNIVERSAL
BOOK NUMBER (UBN) / ISBN. Better to purchase UBN (Universal Book Number) for your book from ubnenquiry@gmail.com
19. How about if I just change the cover?
You can continue to use the same UNIVERSAL BOOK NUMBER (UBN) /
ISBN, since the text has not changed.
