Support for Indie Authors discussion

Issues regarding CIP and LCCNs arose in another thread, and inspired me to post a 4-part blog series on Cataloguing in Publication, LCCNs, the Library of Congress's Preassigned Control Number Program, and Publisher Cataloguing in Publication, explaining each and debunking several myths: http://mademers.com/cip-lccn-pcn-pcip....

There is soooooo much misinformation about these, especially regarding LCCNs, not to mention scam artists preying on your anxiety, that it behooves the indie author to learn more about these programs. And I thought it would be useful to draw attention to it with its own thread.

Hope it helps.
