[ISLMA-Share] Book Fair vendors

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi Lauren,

Congratulations!  If you are going to be in the suburbs, I highly recommend
Anderson's Book Fair Company.  Their book fair warehouse is in Aurora, but
they have stores in Naperville, Downer's Grove and La Grange.  They do a
great job at giving you high quality products and are really attentive to
your requests and needs.  Additionally, when they have authors in town for
store visits, they offer them up to schools FOR FREE! All you have to do is
have one book fair a year with them in order to qualify.  They have big
name authors, so it's definitely worth it.  I also do a Scholastic Fair
each year and while Scholastic has cheaper books and a higher profit margin
(especially if you take it all in Scholastic books/Scholastic dollars),
Anderson's is always my favorite.

If you have more questions about Anderson's I'm happy to answer off-list:
