Product Selection
Being in business over 25 years, has given us great relationships with all publishers and distributers. This is one of the many added benefits that we offer our customers.
We are really excited about the coming school year and we’re looking forward to adding many more popular titles. Currently, we have over 1300 Books Online in stock and 3000 in our database most of which meet Core Curriculum Standards. We only sell the best and we will try to locate most any title you need if it’s still in print and available. However, for now we do not sell any digital or textbooks.

Offline Orders: Send Us Your Purchase Order And Be Invoiced
If you are doing an offline purchase order, just let us know what you need. Generally, a school creates their own book list and emails it to us to fulfill. We then check product availability and create a quote. Once we receive the Purchase Order we begin ordering your books. Shipping time to delivery is about 2 weeks. However, if you are doing a special project and need help with your book selection, we can assist. We can search for the right titles that fit the demographics of your student’s and we can help maximize your budget and search for new discounted books from our distributors. We also can do custom grade level collections and large bulk orders, that require labeling and special handling.
New Accounts and Purchase Orders
If we are not a vendor for your school, generally all you need to do is contact your Purchasing Department and request a W-9 form and or an application be sent to us. When preparing a Purchase Order, please provide us with the following information: Quantity, Title, ISBN Number and the format (Trade, Paperback or Hardcover) And any other important information like, are you ordering in (sets) or multiple quantities.
