Brand new books below regular cover prices.  Take a look at their website.  I have been ordering from them for years and refer a lot of other people to them as well.

If you are looking for used sets of books or anything else school related, you could try S.C.A.R.C.E. which is a non-profit organization in Glen Ellyn.  Any Illinois educator or home-school parent can go there and take what you need for free.  I've donated weeded (but still good) books, overhead projectors, audiobooks, furniture, etc., and I have teacher friends who have gone in there and gotten class sets of novels., dictionaries, etc.  You never know what you'll find.

Just trying to understand more about them. Do you they sell used classroom sets or new? Are they cheaper than Baker and Taylor or Amazon?

Thanks,

Definitely look into Lake-Cook Distributors!  They are fantastic.  I have even called them for class sets of books not listed on their website, and they've been able to order them special at no additional charge or shipping costs.  I can call hem on the phone (Rosemary for something I need right away and I'll have the books within a couple days.  Highly recommend!

Hello, all,

I have a teacher who wants to order some class sets of books.  I remember hearing about Book Depository, but can't remember if it is a reputable source of books.  What do you all know?

Is there any other source you'd recommend?

Thanks!
