Book information in the form of book metadata is usually provided by publishers upon requesting for ISBN. Adding book metadata is essential for a number of reasons: it makes a book easy to categorize and find—for readers, librarians, and booksellers—and it’s a key element of a successful book marketing and sales strategy.
Like many industries, book publishing is dominated by a small number of companies known as the Big Five publishing houses. These publishers include Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster.

Despite churning out an innumerable number of releases each year, many writers find it difficult to make connections with these Big Five publishing houses, resulting in more and more authors deciding to self-publish instead.

The U.S. ISBN Agency has been assigning the 978 prefix to 13-digit ISBNs since 2007. In the previous articles, we’ve discovered what an ISBN is and explained the difference between 10- and 13-digit ISBNs and how both systems could be contained with the help of the 978 prefix. However, blocks of ISBN-13s built on existing ISBN-10s are exhausted. Therefore, the U.S. ISBN Agency has begun assigning ISBNs starting with the prefix element 979.
