A quick question about a published book....

Hello, I have a quick question about a published book of mine. I just noticed some spelling and comma errors, can I do a revision even though it is 'out' there with a ISBN?

I've read through the FAQs section... I just wanted to double check with someone else, if they have done a revision afterwards...

Blessings and a big 'thank you' for your replies!

Yes, you can. It will require another proof copy be purchased. Also, to revise a book with an ISBN, it will say purchase revision because you have to go through the shopping cart but revisions have been free.

Re: A quick question about a published book....

Yes, correcting typographical errors such as spelling and commas is allowed under the ISBN rules. But if you intend to make changes more substantial than correcting typographical errors, that's not allowed under the ISBN rules.

However, although the corrected version will be available immediately on Lulu once you've made your corrections and bought a new proof and approved the new proof, it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the corrected version to be available in the distribution network.
Kind Regards

Dear Tammy and Belinda, Thank you so much for your quick response and help with the revision procedure.

Yes, it's only commas and spelling errors... so I should be fine.

Many blessings to you...
