The title information you provide below will be uploaded to JRB's sales system and will be used in their catalogues to promote the JRB titles to retailers.

Please note: many book title databases and retailer websites will upload title information automatically from the metadata of your ISBN. JRB is unable to modify your ISBN information, as they do not have access to your publisher account with Thorpe Bowker Identifer Services. As such, we highly recommend members joining the JRB Distribution arrangement update their ISBN information via Thorpe Bowker's My Identifiers website, where you originally purchased your ISBN. This way, you can ensure consistency across the JRB system and other title databases that use your ISBN metadata. To learn more about assigning and editing metadata on your ISBN, please read the Thorpe Bowker resource here.
