ISBN Book Barcodes
All books use International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) and are obtained through a designated organisation in each country. You can purchase barcode images from below if you already have an ISBN Number and only require the barcode images. If you need to purchase an ISBN Number, then you can find the designated organisation for Botswana here.
ISBN Numbers can be encoded with 5-digit price codes that can encode a price up to the value of ‘99.99’ in GBP, USD or CAD only. These price codes can make it easier for retailers to establish the recommended retail price for books. However, it is not common practice for ISBN numbers to have this price code as most scanners do not read this code. If you wish to have 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.
Do you have an ISBN Number?
NO – You’ll need to get an ISBN Number before we can provide you with the barcode images for it. To get an ISBN number you need to contact the designated ISBN organisation in Botswana (if you live outside Botswana, the contact details for all the ISBN Agencies worldwide can be found on the ISBN International website).
If you have a magazine, you will need to see our ISSN Magazine barcode page.
