The ISBN is usually printed on the Copyright page and the back cover of the book. (Click here to view/download PDF form).

Bar Code: The Bar Code is a scannable image of the ISBN. The Bar Code is usually printed on the back cover of the book and is an important marketing tool as most wholesalers and large chains will not stock a book that does not have correct bar code printed on the cover of the book.
