Everything indie authors need to know about Canadian ISBN registration, barcodes, and Legal Deposit.
Did you know? Library and Archives Canada (LAC) provides 100% free ISBN numbers to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Unlike US authors who pay Bowker $125 per ISBN, Canadian self-publishers can register their imprint name for free.
Under Canadian publishing law, self-published authors who print 100+ copies of a book are requested to send two deposit copies to Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa within 7 days of publication to preserve Canadian heritage.
By printing your stock in short runs (100 - 500 copies) with BookPrintingCanada.ca, your unit print cost drops significantly compared to print-on-demand services, allowing you to offer standard 40% bookstore discounts while maintaining strong royalties.
Validate your ISBN barcode, compute 3D spine width, or calculate your retail sales profit before printing.
Absolutely not. Book Printing Canada is a commercial printer, not a publisher. You retain 100% ownership of your manuscript, copyright, cover designs, and sales revenue.
Our short-run digital book printing starts at just 25 copies, making it affordable for debut authors, Kickstarter campaigns, and specialized niche publications.
Yes! Our prepress team reviews every uploaded file for trim margins, bleed, image resolution (300 DPI), and font embedding. We also generate print-ready vector EAN-13 barcodes for your Canadian ISBN free of charge.
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days for paperback books and 10–14 business days for hardcover casebound books. Expedited rush printing (3–5 business days) is available upon request.
