HELP how do I get an ISBN for 9x7 landscape format

[TrinaSmith]

When I select for an ISBN the landscape format of 9x7 does not appear - why is this NOT an option.  I have seen other landscape books with one so how come it won't work for me?? 

If I have 9x7 can I still assign an ISBN later?

Please advise if you can help.

I also wanted to create a cover but when I try it seems to only allow Lulu templates or advanced ones with crap all ability to put text where you want it - how do I create my own cover and upload it avoiding the cover wizard?

So does this mean you have no idea how assign an ISBN to 9x7 format?

I have already browsed the help area of this site which you have directed me to and it indicates this option is not possible for the format I wish to use - this is frustrating hence my request for help. 

It is unfortunate that the service provided by Lulu is restricted to so few formats and rather limited templates which impedes the usability of the site for publishing.  

If you do not wish to offer any help due to my impoliteness then please refrain from posting a reply and I will take my chances that someone else who is less sensitive may offer to help.

If you read take the effort to read the link you will will see that format is not avialable for distribution and cannot have an ISBN.

Simple really.

Thousands and thousands of Lulu'ers don't feel impaired and produce many wonderful publicatiosn.

If you took the time to read my reply you would see that I already figured that one out.   I thought the help forum was supposed to be for those who are willing to offer support and your condescending tone is impolite so please do not reply unless you are willing to offer some constructive help.  I guess I will just persevere until I can find a workable solution.

[Ken Anderson]

If you already know the answer then why ask again.

How long have you been registered here. Please read the Knowledge Base - it's not that difficult.

If you want an ISBN for your book then you can get one youself, i.e. buy one from the authority in your country. It's just that Lulu isn't giving a free one and arranging distribution for the  format you chose for your book.

As for the cover, read the dimensions required, make the cover in any graphics prog you have, save as jpg and upload instead of using the supplied templates.

I doubt if she will even understand that Peter.
