Well here it’s more a self published pdf than a book. It didn’t pass a publisher screening nor got an ISBN so it’s hardly a "real" book.

- thanksDr 8y agoYes, the ISBN is what gives it that booky authenticity.

- Stratoscope 8y agoFWIW, my second printing of Donald Knuth's Fundamental Algorithms from 1969 lacks an ISBN. So either it is also not a book, or else OP is in good company.
- rSi 8y agoIf I remember correctly you can get an ISBN for any self published book without much hassle. I used to do a magazine with a friend and we self published with an edition of 100 for each issue. Getting the ISBN was easy. Congratulations on writing a book, and don't let anyone tell you it's not a real book, just because you don't have a publisher or it didn't get printed yet!
- grecy 8y agoAs a Canadian resident I get free ISBN's for the books I self publish. It takes about 2 minutes online to get one assigned. In the US you just buy them
