Legal blurb at the front of novels?

Legal blurb at the front of novels?

I am a graphic designer that is producing artwork for a book for one of my clients. I need to know if there is a legal requirement for the page of notes at the start of a book.

As in:

First published in the uk in 2009 by:
Copyright xxxxxxxx 2009 etc
This book is copyright under the Berne Convention

A CIP catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.

Etc etc etc

As far as I know, the book is not going to be sold, so should not need an ISBN or Barcode etc… would I be correct in that?

It is merely an Anniversary commemorative book that will be distributed amongst staff, family and friends, but I just wanted to check that I didn’t need all of thos epublishers details etc

Cheers

Andy

    You would be wise to copyright it, there is no other legal requirements to do so or anything else, as the book has no ISBN and does not require one.
