I used to get the discounts of up to 40% through the systems. It applied to almost everyone. Ingram, B&T, etc. Are they still doing it? If yes, everyone that is a system member needs to sign up if you haven't. It's one of the services of membership - negotiated prices. I got greatly reduced database prices and such. I'm retired awhile now so do they still do this?
On the flip side - love Ingram.....

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....
