What is the Difference Between Copyright and Copywrite?
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Copyright (noun) is the set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute, and adapt the work. These rights can be licensed, transferred, and/or assigned. Copyright lasts for a certain time period after which the work is said to enter the public domain.
Copywrite may be used by some as a verb designating what copywriters do, but it is not actually a word. The correct verbiage is “write copy.” Copywriting is a profession. A copywriter works in marketing and writes advertising (copy) for companies.

What is an ISBN?
Monday, April 19, 2010
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) code created by Gordon Foster, now Emeritus Professor of Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin, for the booksellers and stationers W.H. Smith and others in 1966.
The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108. Since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with the EAN-13 barcode system.
Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure; however, this is usually later rectified.
A similar numeric identifier, the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), identifies periodical publications such as magazines.
