Order Direct and Save
We are the selection librarian's best friend. We represent the best library-oriented publishers. We give you a way to order directly from them without dealing with each one, individually. We can

  • Save you time. We know what our publishers have to offer. You tell us what you need, and we can save you hours of research in finding it.
  • Save you money. When you cut out the middle man, you get a much better discount. When you take advantage of publisher-direct special offers, you save even more. We can make this happen with no effort on your part.
  • Save you work. We type your orders, place them with the publisher, monitor them for correct fulfillment, and handle any customer service issues that come up. Tech services librarians love us because we take the hassle out of ordering direct.
  • If you wish, we can bring sample books to your library for you to select from. We bring them in person, show them to you, and take them away. You don't have to deal with preview boxes.

We save all of them time and money. We assure that they get more books for their materials budget dollars.

Let us know what you want, and we will handle all the paperwork for you. You will get the best publisher-direct prices and promotions. Your discount will be between 25% and 80%. Most orders get free shipping and processing. No wholesaler can match the discounts you get by ordering direct. No wholesaler can guarantee a 98%+ fill rate on these library-bound titles.
