To publish a book, first of all, the author needs to choose a suitable publishing method.
Especially for self-funded books, if the author applies for ISBN directly to the publishing house, the time is uncertain, even more than half a year is normal, and in most cases ISBN can not be applied, so we must choose the appropriate publishing method.
