Welcome to the ISBN Agency Australia
The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a 13-digit
number that uniquely identifies books and book-like products
published internationally. Each number identifies a unique edition
of a publication, from one specific publisher, allowing for more
efficient marketing of products by booksellers, libraries,
universities, wholesalers and distributors.
ISBNs are assigned by ISBN group agencies in 166 countries, coordinated
by the International ISBN Agency in London. The Australian ISBN
Agency assigns ISBNs in Australia exclusively.
Thorpe-Bowker acquired the Australian ISBN Agency in 1997, primarily
to ensure the continuance of a resource of Australian books and
publishers (Australian Books in Print) that would remain
as comprehensive as possible.
The ISBN and Barcode application process is now
online. To request an ISBN or Barcode please CLICK

online payment gateway. Please read all instructions carefully as
