Re: Baker&Taylor service charge

I have used Ingram for over 12 years.  They get better and better.  Their
customer service people are GREAT and so are their discounts.  And they
rarely make mistakes on an order (which, incidentally, is shipped out within
24 hours).

I also order paperbacks from them (at maximum discount), they ship them
(at no charge) to a vinabind jobber, who then ships them, all bound, to
my library.  The whole process takes less than 2 months and I live in Alaska!

They have audio and video as well.  Ask for these catalogs.

School libraries can have "staff orders" -- you can order books for yourself
and your staff and get the same discounts.  Minimum orders are 10 books.
