Copyright Registration (45) + Library of Congress Fee Copyright is important to every author. If you have created a work in the United States it is essential to register that work as soon as possible after the publication date. Glorybound Publishing Editors are expert on United States Copyright law provisions and we want to insure your rights are preserved. Copyright Consultation with Glorybound Publisher noting rights and responsibilities of authors and/or artists of books. Library of Congress Fee is separate (cost is 45 at time of this publication) Registration requires digital copy of the book Two fully bound copies may be registered with the Library of Congress. One is actually put on the shelf of the Library in Washington DC while the other copy is put in the reserve basement. Author must provide the copies (or we will print and bind the copies for each). Author must certify he/she is original producer of the work (by letter to Glorybound) Additional cost may be added if more than one author or artist is included in the work. There is an extra charge for more than a single contributor. Author will be the recipient of the Copyright. Glorybound files the paperwork as a service. We will receive the formal copyright letter and forward it to the author or artist. ISBN Assignment (35) It is essential that International Standard Book Numbers are given to each book which is published to be sold. These are individually assigned numbers indicating specific title and author. The numbers are held by a company called Bowker s Link and they provide them to authors who wish for their books to be registered. Publishing companies purchase a clump of numbers (Glorybound has 1000) and then go back onto their web site and register the numbers with specific titles. Every book must have its own ISBN. Glorybound attributes an ISBN Number to a title and uploads the cover as well as a summary of the book. All newly assigned ISBN titles appear in journals distributed to libraries throughout the United States. The ISBN is a two number character format. One of the numbers is utilized at a catalogue number for inventory in stores. ISBN provides the base for the Bar Code which is needed on the back of the bound edition for scanning purchase options. 5 GBB

Many times, because of the high cost of personal printing, books are not printed by the authors prior to submission for publishing. This gives the author an opportunity to see the book for the first time and hold it in their hand! This copy must be done after the book is formatted because of the printing options by professional printing. Authors may order additional Proof Edition Books along the publishing route as the book morphs into its final product. These Proof Edition Books will be a souvenir for years to come because they are the first proof of your work! Proof Edition of the manuscript prior to editing (or may request after editing) Size is 8.5 x 11 page with print of the book appropriate size as if it will be printed. For example: General reading books are 6 x 9 whereas children s books may be 8 x 8. The page size of the Proof Edition will be 8.5 x 11, but the print on the page will be actual size when it is bound. There will be some white space around the block print. The paper around the block print enables the author to visualize the manuscript as it will be in completed format edition and make pencil notes for editing purposes.
