The Single ISBN report allows you to quickly search for sales data for a certain title/ISBN or contributor. There are a number of ways to create these reports:
1. Click Through
Click any ISBN in a Bestseller Report.
2. Quick Search
Search for a title, contributor, or ISBN in the search box that appears in the top right of most pages in BNC SalesData. Title and contributor results will be returned as a bestseller list based on the lifetime sales of the titles or contributors entered in the search box. Click the ISBN of the title you wish to view. Searches for valid ISBNs will go straight to the Single ISBN Report page.
- Titles can be full or partial titles. If several ISBNs match the title entered, you will see a list of all search results.
- Contributors can be entered as either last name, first name or first name, last name format (e.g. Atwood, Margaret or Margaret Atwood).
- ISBNs can be either 10- or 13-digit ISBNs.
If your search returns no results, and you believe you should be seeing a result, please contact us at salesdata@booknetcanada.ca for assistance.
