Many, many years ago, I sent a list of books to Follett & Baker & taylor for a price quote. Baker & Taylor was thousands of dollars cheaper. I've been working on an order using Follett TitleWave to locate titles. Their webpage is SO much better than B&T's. As a matter of fact, B&T's site is so annoying that I decided it was time to compare prices again. If Follett came close, I would switch. So - I entered the titles into BOTH websites. The result? For exactly the same titles and editions: Follett's Price: $3,134.34 Baker & Taylor: $1,869.00 A small difference in price would have been OK. But 60% higher? I have to wonder why. To be fair - Follett is the place to go for audio-books and ebooks. But for books - I just can't justify the price difference. Just wondering......
