Bibliographic Information

The top of the report gives you all the information on the title based on the ISBN you submitted, including details like: format, list price, BISAC subject, publisher, distributor, and more.

Fields listed below may appear as links, which will generate a new report when clicked.

  • Contributor: To create a Bestseller Report with more titles by the linked contributor, click on the linked name. The page will refresh and return a bestseller report of up to 100 titles, based on the most recent week of data, where this contributor is listed as the author, illustrator, editor, or translator. These are the four roles tracked in SalesData, and each contributor's role type will be indicated by the label next to their name. 
  • Publisher, Imprint or Distributor: To create a Bestseller Report with more titles by this publisher, imprint or distributor, click on the linked name. 

Clicking more bibliographic data will bring up a pop-up with more detailed information such as item status, on sale date, volume, edition, languages, illustrations, and awards. Details are supplied only if they are available in the title's bibliographic record. The second button for reporting bibliographic errors is covered here.

Info

The awards data is curated by R.R. Bowker Books In Print, a division of ProQuest. To request the addition of a Canadian award to the R.R. Bowker data, please contact salesdata@booknetcanada.ca.
