Nielsen and ISBN Numbers

I have taken the following information about ISBNs from the Neilsen site:


ISBN Services For Existing Publishers.
Nielsen has launched a new online service, the Nielsen ISBN Store: www.nielsenisbnstore.com
The UK ISBN Agency provides the following services for existing publishers.
. Provision of advice concerning the ISBN system.
. Allocation of additional ISBN publisher prefixes and numbers to publishers(and self-published authors) based in the UK or Republic of Ireland.
. Maintenance of publisher name and contact details, together with their ISBN prefixes for inclusion in the Publishers International ISBN Directory and Nielsen Book's Publisher Database.
. Re-issuing lists of ISBN numbers already allocated (for multiple numbers previously issued to a publisher, in both 13-digit and, if originally issued before 2007, 10 digit format), together with the title and publication date of all associated publications which Nielsen Books holds on it's bibliographic database.
Completed application forms for additional ISBN prefixes and numbers, as well as for listings of numbers already allocated, can be emailed to the agency. ISBN allocations and re-issued lists (for multiple numbers) are sent to you by email unless you request them to be posted.
The standard processing time for an ISBN prefix application is 10 working days from receipt of the application form; this assumes the application form is legible, full and correctly completed, and is accompanied by the correct fee. Payment can be made via Visa/MasterCard or cheque.


For an additional fee, applications can be "fast tracked", in which case the processing time is reduced from 10 working days to 3 working days. We have also introduced a Super Fast Track Same Day service for applications received before 13.00. Or you can go online to the Nielsen ISBN Store using the above link. A single ISBN is £99 including  VAT and then it rises for 100, 1,000, 10,000 batches of ISBNs.  Full pricing details are found on their web site.
