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

Thu Mar 9 10:40:29 CST 2017

I like Bound to Stay Bound and Perma-Bound. They are fast and have been quick to replace books if they have fallen apart - which has only happened a couple times. Admittedly, I haven't spent much time looking elsewhere, though. Both of them are local companies and there are several school families that work there which holds a lot of weight with me - even if their prices might be a litttle higher.

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.
