Midwest Library Service has been our supplier of choice for many
years. They go out of their way to do whatever we ask. They are
always nice, and if it is within their ability to accomodate us they
do. If I can help any further please do not hesitate contacting me.

Hi,
We get a flat discount from Baker & Tayor so we use them a lot. I have
opened corporate credit accounts with both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
We can get as much as 20 or 30 percent off of many titles from them
which
translates into huge savings.
They both have out of print sections too although we only use the Barnes
and Noble out of print source as they will accept purchase orders and
Amazon
does not as yet.
Alibris is also good for out of print books although they add on 20% to
the
cost of the book for purchase orders. You can save money there if your
department has a credit card.
Powells is good too. They have huge selections and great sales.
Hope this helps.
