Copyright page builder

Assembles the copyright page a printer expects: notice, edition line, ISBNs, disclaimer, credits and the rights reserved wording.

The book
Numbers
Every format takes its own ISBN. Check each one in the ISBN checker before it is printed, because a copyright page is the last place anyone reads carefully.
Wording
The page
Downloads as a Word compatible file you can drop straight in front of the first chapter. It belongs on the verso, the left hand page, immediately after the title page.
Not legal advice
Copyright exists from the moment you write the thing. This page announces it, which is useful, but announcing it is not the same as registering it. Registration is a separate step with your national office, and in some countries it is what lets you claim damages.
