In general context, book publishing can be categorized into academic publishing, tie-in publishing, e-books, accessible publishing, print on demand, and even Green publishing. The three stages of publishing are editorial stage, design stage, and finally, sales or marketing stage. First and foremost, after publishers and authors determine the sale price of the book, it can be assigned a unique International Standard Book Number (ISBN), Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN), and Exchange Access Network (EAN) barcodes. The title of the book should be registered with the associated authoritative bodies such as Copyright Office, even when the book is in printing stage. Marketing the book prior to publication is crucial.
