Hi folks,

I'm taking perhaps an unconventional route to getting listed on Amazon, as we printed paperback copies of our book in bulk, with our ISBN on the backcover as a barcode.

We got approved as a seller on Amazon, and as we're trying to add a new product, we're running into roadblocks from Amazon since they require a Product ID which is our ISBN.

Anyway, long story short, Amazon support reached out and said in order to confirm the product listing they need the following, amongst other things:

> ISBN confirmation letter from Bowker - Official documentation from Bowker confirming your ISBN ownership

As far as I'm aware, Bowker does not offer official documentation. I have a receipt of the ISBN's we purchased but we bought ISBN's in bulk, so it doesn't show the individual ISBN on it.

Any ideas what I could provide to Amazon from Bowker that could confirm our ownership of the ISBN?

Appreciate any ideas.

Thank you

Hi folks,

I created an educational book, and we're planning to send out 150 copies to parents, teachers, and prospective clients.

We developed a small decorative box that perfectly fits the book. And we created an A5 "one-pager" that briefly explains what the book is, how we developed it, with a QR code that leads to more info. I'm planning on adding a handwritten signature to the "one-pager" to make it a little more personalized.

In total, the envelope should end up being 6x9x1" and weigh 1lb, which includes the book, decorative box, and one-pager.

Will this be fine to send via media mail? Since the book is going to teachers, parents, etc., I don't want to risk that they will incur a recipient fee.

Appreciate any guidance.

Thank you

Edit: I was also planning on using a service like stamps.com to streamline the process for the 150 envelopes. And then planning to schedule a pickup.
