HIT: ordering paperbacks

[Salli Pritts <hambrechts@BEMENT.K12.IL.US>]

Others requested I share my information so, here is a list of suggestions
for purchasing paperbacks.  Thank you to everyone that sent suggestions.  Salli

Mackin at mackin.com

I use Baker and Taylor.  The NYS contract is 30% discount.  Cataloging
is free.  I think their fill rate is very good also.

We really like dealing with Lake-Cook Distributors, Inc.  612 S.
Wheeling Rd. Wheeling, IL 60090-5707 (Phone 800-677-6047).  They provide
reasonable paperbacks for Grades 6-12.  They are extremely prompt and
very easy to deal with.  They have a catalog but also have access to
titles not listed in their catalog.

  I highly recommend Mackin Books  (www.mackin.com)in Minnesota.
Free shipping and processing (over $50, I think)

  Depending on what you are looking for, try www.bookdepot.com (requires
$250 min order to get the wholesale prices), or www.bookcloseouts.com , or
Scholastic Monthly Book Club fliers.

I order from Amazon.com.

I have used Follett Educational Services for paperbacks.  They are a part
of Follett Library Services, but they have a different number.
