Well here it’s more a self published pdf than a book. It didn’t pass a publisher screening nor got an ISBN so it’s hardly a "real" book.
If I remember correctly you can get an ISBN for any self published book without much hassle. I used to do a magazine with a friend and we self published with an edition of 100 for each issue. Getting the ISBN was easy.
Congratulations on writing a book, and don't let anyone tell you it's not a real book, just because you don't have a publisher or it didn't get printed yet!

Yes, the ISBN is what gives it that booky authenticity.

FWIW, my second printing of Donald Knuth's Fundamental Algorithms from 1969 lacks an ISBN.
So either it is also not a book, or else OP is in good company.
Always Remember: the people on this site complaining about price are not your customers, and that’s ok. There are always people on this site that complain about price. When I launched my book and it got on here half the comments were about the price instead of the book itself. Ignore them. They’re noise. Focus on selling to your audience.
