book title, which assures a bookstore and
the consumer that they are receiving the
correct book.

Though not required, it is still useful to have
a LCCN assigned to your book. This aides
libraries and other organizations who
would like more information on your
specific title.

This website is a great reference to see
what names are already being claimed as
registered trademarks.

protection against identity theft. Some
retailers require this number (or your social
security number) before they will send you
payment for a book order.
