GEN: Grolier's International Orders

[Ana Soria <ASORIA@COTOPAXI.K12.EC>]

I recently ordered two sets of reference materials from
Groliers:Colonial America and Grolier's Encyclopedia of Animals.  To my
surprise, I got a reply stating that these works may only be purchased
by U.S. schools due to "territorial restrictions".  Does anyone know
what these territorial restrictions are and how can I go about ordering
these two sets of reference works that I need badly for my library.  Our
materials are brought into Ecuador by a U.S. jobber.  I don't understand
why Groliers would place restrictions over who is going to use these
books.

By the way, my school is located in Quito, Ecuador, and we serve a large
population of American children.  Perhaps other international educators
have had similar experiences and can give me a word of advise.

TIA
