I've been interested for some time in discovering how to decipher this code and finally decided to take time to google the information and voilà, there you were. Personal continuing education, as I live and breathe, is working. Appreciate very much your contribution to it. H S Joel,

For ISBNs in the US only, go to myidentifiers.com. The copyright symbol ( © ) you just add from your keyboard. For instance, on the Mac I just typed that symbol by hitting Option-G. Make sure the symbol appears in the book when it's printed. You may have complications of both copyright and ISBN usage if you plan to print or publish in one country and sell in others. I suggest you look into this with the "friend publisher" you mentioned. Good luck!
