Re: [LM_NET] TAR:SEC:Books in Spanish

["Dr. Michael Bell" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Dear Kris,

A good publisher/distributor for Spanish-language books for the library is
Lectorum Publications, a subsidiary of Scholastic.  It is the largest
Spanish language book distributor in the country with over 25,000 titles
from more than 500 domestic and foreign publishers.  I'ed start by
contacting them.

Sincerely,
