Guide to territorial rights

Print

Publishers must specify the territorial rights they hold for each book, that is, the countries for which they hold the rights to display the book on google.com.

Your books will be shown to users in countries in which you have territorial rights. Please specify your territorial rights as follows:

  • Worldwide rights: Enter the word "all" in Column D.

  • Limited countries: Enter the two-letter country code for each country in which you have rights. Use commas, but not spaces, to separate each country code. Country codes are listed here.
    For example: If you have rights in the US, United Kingdom, and Canada, enter: us,gb,ca

  • Most countries: Enter "all" followed by the two-letter country code for countries in which you do not have rights. Use commas, but not spaces, to separate each country code.
    For example: If you have rights to all countries except Canada, enter: all,ca.
