I want to pass along this information I got from "WRITERS WEEKLY" written by its editor, Ms. Angela Hoy. This is one newsletter that is well worth the time to read. The articles are filled with information that I've found helpful time and time again. The market listings are solid leads and not some regurgitated names picked out of last years leftovers. I'm not getting paid to write this, it's just that I am very careful about the information I pass on to other writers.
If you are self-publishing or hiring a publishing service, you should not allow them to register your work. Never give up any rights to your book and never allow them to register your copyright in their name. They will jack up the price for this, you can obtain your own copyright and register your work online for the cost of $35.00.

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG NUMBER
The Library of Congress Catalog Number (LCCN) is a unique identification number. The LCCN assigns to the catalog record for each book in its cataloged collections. Librarians often use it to locate a specific book. You can find information on how to obtain LCCN's here. ( it is free)
Go to: http://pcn.loc.gov/
Note: The site says you must be a publisher to obtain LCCN's but, if you are self-publishing and, or retaining all rights to your book, you are your own publisher.
For more information on this you can go to the sites listed above or to Writers Weekly and read the complete article there or if you have a question, I'm sure Angela Hoy will help you find the answers you need.
