This was very helpful. I have a book written and formatted, and found out that there's such a thing as a Library of Congress Preassigned Control Number (issued by a US government agency) in addition to the ISBN number. I haven't seen any KDP self-publishers talk about that at all. Is this not a big deal? Or not necessary? Do you know? Thanks in advance.

Barbara, you reach the library of Congress and ask for it. You need to send them a copy of the book. Once they assign the number, you can put it in your book. It doesn’t cost anything. I didn’t see much value in pursuing it. Here is a link: www.loc.gov/publish/pcn/faqs/#cost

@@YoramSolomon Thank you so much for answering my question! I applied to get a number but I didn't realize you have to already have the book published. And I ran into other questions because Amazon didn't offer me a free ISBN for the Kindle version, but only for the paperback, and the Library of Congress wanted ISBNs for both. So it felt like a big mess, but I had the feeling it must not matter too much, or other writers would be talking about it. Again, thanks. You've put my heart at ease!

Thank you for this video. I'm new to KDP with low content books. I have uploaded 2 books. All goes through just fine. But when the cover preview comes on, the designs I put on the cover are missing. The background of the cover itself is showing. Do you know why this could be happening? Thanks

Loved the video. I am writing my book right now. It is a book of short stories which will contain 5 of my own stories and 5 public domain stories. How would Amazon respond to that do you think?

[@YoramSolomon]

First of all, I love that you are writing a book. Let me continue with saying that what I say is NOT legal advice, and only an attorney (specifically, an Intellectual Property attorney) should give you advice in this area. My guess is that you will not have an issue with Amazon, but you might still have an issue. Even though the other stories are in the public domain, it doesn't mean that you can use them without authorization. So, even if Amazon says nothing (I don't know that they have a way to know), you might be contacted by an author of those stories. My advice would be to check with an IP attorney.

How to upload multiple images in kdp paperback ?

[@YoramSolomon]

I"m not sure what you are asking. Are you talking about the cover design, and are you using KDP's cover creator?

[@321Cedar]

Why do you waste so much time explaining what KDP and other things are? I wouldn't be on your page unless I'd written a manuscript. All I want to know is how to upload my manuscript. With respect to you, I'm not the least bit interested in what you've done in the past all your previous books. Your page is far too long winded. Sorry, Bye, bye.
