Joana Marcús • 2022

Una historia de amor y pasión con una cuenta atrás. Todo acabará Antes de diciembre. Una de las historias de amor más adictivas de Wattpad llega por fin al papel. Para Jenna Brown, su primer año en la universidad suponía alejarse de su familia y sus amigos y enfrentarse al mundo por primera vez en su vida. Su novio le había dejado claras sus intenciones: a partir de ese momento, tenían una relación a distancia y abierta. Ambos podían hacer lo que quisieran porque sabían que se querían el uno al otro. Así que no pasaba nada si no dejaba de acercarse al mejor amigo del novio de su compañera de habitación, ¿no? De todos modos, ¿qué importaba si estaba con él en ausencia de su novio? Todo volvería a la normalidad en diciembre. ¿Cambiaría algo? Tenía hasta entonces para descubrirlo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A passionate love story with a dangerous countdown.

Either way, why would it matter if she got together with him while she was away from her boyfriend? Everything would return to normal in December. Would things change?

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.
