ISBNS - International Standard Book Numbers: A Desktop Resource For
Self-Publishing Authors is an author's resource about a subject
they hear about all of the time and that publishing platforms
require but most authors really don't know anything about ISBNs. I
have 10-years of college and five degrees. People expect me to know
things that I simply don't know and sometimes don't want to know. I
sincerely could have done without the knowledge of colonics and
what a "Brazilian" is when the girls in my office began gabbing
about these two subjects. I always thought a Brazilian was a tiny
little dude from Rio de Janero...no it's not...go with me on this
one. I'm still trying to figure out the lyrics to the 60s song
"Louie Louie" and I have no idea where flies sleep at night (lol).
So much for 10-years of college Here's my point: there are some
things we encounter daily that we know little about but use these
things daily too. Furthermore, we also use words in our speech and
writing that we don't REALLY know what they mean or have a very
slight understanding to their meaning. ISBNs are one such subject.
When I woke up to this realization, I decided to publish desktop
compendiums where readers could access information quickly and
learn things that they needed to know. My first compendium was
titled "Latin Phrases." I was amazed at how often we use Latin
phrases in the English language but even more amazed how many of
these phrases the users didn't know the meaning of but used them
anyway. Phrases like "carpe diem (seize the day), non-sequitar (it
does not follow), or quid pro quo (this for that). To add some zest
to my Latin Phrases book, I even included some funny Latin phrases:
Volo anaticulam cumminosam meam - I want my rubber ducky Visne
saltare? Viam Latam Fungosam scio - Do you want to dance? I know
the Funky Broadway. Veni, Vidi, volo in domum redire - I came, I
saw, I want to go home. Vale, lacerte - See you later, alligator
Vah Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur -
Oh Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort of
slips out. Tum podem extulit horridulum - You are talking crap.
Since I wrote Latin Phrases I have introduced three other "phrase"
compendium books: Investment Phrases, Legal Phrases, Real Estate
Phrases. ISBNS - International Standard Book Numbers: A Desktop
Resource For Self-Publishing Authors is the fifth book in this
series and teaches a subject that all authors should know about in
detail. This book also addresses where authors can get ISBNs. The
prices are all over the board and I have provided resources where
you can acquire them reasonably.
