ISBN: International Standard Book Number - assigned by various agencies world wide.  A unique 10 (old) or 13 (new) digit number, used for inventory control by many book sellers.  Every book, format (hard or soft), and edition, qualifies for it's own number. Domestically, the assignment of this number also places the title in "Books in Print".  http://www.isbn.org

Computer aid!?!

Don't forget to keep your internet contacts up to date. If you thought keeping track of phone numbers was hard, many people use "disposable" email addresses and switch occasionally to get away from SPAM. Don't let your contacts wither and die for lack of contact.
