[ISLMA-Share] Book Vendors- Baker and Taylor gone

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have had very good luck with Perma-bound.  I like the fact that they are in-state (fast shipping), and I have had very good customer service.  The books hold up exceptionally well, and their website has gotten much better in the past few years.  And the prices are great too!

And no, I’m not on staff with them—I just like them! ☺

Does anyone have a Chicago or Northshore rep contact for Ingram?  I am also very upset, and just learned about, the closing of B&T.

I did a price check of B&T and Titlewave and books in Titlewave, the same books, came up 20-25% higher.

Ingram became my top vendor about 5 years ago.  Never disappointed.

Ingram has been on my radar for many years. When I was still working, I frequently ordered from them as their prices at that time were more reliable than Baker & Taylor. When they indicated a discount of 30 or 40% that's what you received. I don't think they have changed. LBSS has frequently used Ingram to supply titles for the book award programs.

I appreciate the advice regarding Ingram. I have to say, this change has not been well communicated by either Baker and Taylor or Follett.

So I am beside myself with the email I received this morning that Baker and Taylor is transitioning us into Titlewave....  Does anyone know of a vendor that is comparable in price to Baker and Taylor?  I typically price check Baker and Taylor, Amazon, Follett, Mackin, and Perma Bound....
