Does anyone know if Canadian ISBN's can be ordered from US bookstores like Borders or Barnes and Noble? Do they appear in Amazon? or do they limit themseleves to Bowker's Books in Print. The question is if a self published book is given a Canadian ISBN, will anyone in the US be able to order it. I understand that even US ISBN's are not necessarily in Amazon, limiting their distribution. Canadian ISBN's are free while in US they are $30 a pop. I know that public libraries do not get Canadian books , mine anyway. Fredonia Books get a NL ISBN, but they can be ordered here and are on Amazon. Maybe a special deal?
