Dear Self-Publishing Author,
Thank you so much for the information you forwarded me on ISBNs and why you are on the verge of purchasing 10 of them.
No, you do not need to change the ISBN when you sell outside of the US. What they told you was an outright lie and they probably did that to sell you more product.
Your ISBNs were on the proof of the cover I have sent you (three times!). Ditto for the bar code. Please don't purchase one. It will be a waste of your money.
ISBNs are different from BISAC codes, which is actually what I was wanting you to confirm with me.
I am not sure why you needed to 'investigate' the BISAC codes and then told me that they will not help someone looking for your book. I know that. I explained to you that the codes help book retailers determine the appropriate section for your book.
I am so glad we were able to resolve this by having me read the multiple codes to you over the phone (I was worried that leaving you with this task would result in you returning to me with more unimagined nonsense).
I was hoping you would recognize my expertise as an industry insider, but by all means, please trust the word of a customer service agent in a book store. I am sure she has lots of experience with the self-publishing industry and knows about these things.
Sincerely,
Is there an echo in here?
