In my heart I feel he is long gone. That is what makes me so angry at my government. How many Ni's were left behind. It actually makes me ashamed of my country when I think of this.

It may be helpful on the back cover or book jacket. In those cases, the purpose is to assist the retailer to stock shelves or help the customer to identify the subject matter, so the codes are not as useful as the literal genre heading. I list the codes and subject headings on my own website and also on "sell sheets" which I pass out to retailers. Your publisher probably already lists those codes in their database, and it should appear in Books In Print when your books are referenced there. Generally, even subsidy press publishers query the authors or assign subject headings to all their books. In all likelihood, if your books are available to the distribution chain, those categories have been assigned by someone else. However, if your books are not currently listed in "Books In Print," then you should go to the Bowker company website and register (free) to add your own data through "Bowker Link" at http://www.bowker.com/index.php/component/content/article/5/61 Note that they will offer you an online ISBN logbook (a charge service) which you do not need if you already have your ISBNs. As for BIC, you may know something I do not. I thought that stood for Bank Identification Code, which would only be appropriate for financial transfer transactions. Clair Rick,

Here it is 5:15 a.m., I'm waiting for the coffeepot to finish perking and I'm at the screen with a smile on my face. Glad I'm not the only one wondering 'Is it over yet?' And I don't even watch television. LB Another good one Clair! Here it is 5:15 a.m., I’m waiting for the coffeepot to finish perking and I’m at the screen with a smile on my face.
