Free Bar Code Generator

More than 10 years ago I paid about $250 - $300 for a block of 10 ISBNs (that's International Standard Book Number). These are the IDs that appear in each book to give it a unique identifier. This usually appears on the back of the book above the barcode.

This is different from the UPC code, which is the actual bar code. Now, I've got the the ISBN, but I needed the UPC code. These can cost you from $10 - $30 per barcode (crazy, ain't it, paying for the code of a number you already own -- the ISBN should just include the danged thing).

Fortunately, there are free barcode generators out there, and here's one I use (and recommend):

Since this is a free service, be a sport and donate a couple of bucks if you use this service.
