E: [Genealib] Working with distributors

[Craig Scott]

There are many ways that distributors deal with genealogical publishers.

 

There is difference between being able to get your books on the shelves of
bookstores and the ability of bookstores to purchase special order books
through their distributors or directly from the publisher.

 

Heritage Books, Inc. deals the Baker and Taylor and Barnes and Noble almost
weekly. Ingram less frequently. We have had less success with
Books-a-Million, but excellent success with Eastern National. What is more
important in genealogy is to have a good relationship with the Library
Services companies.

 

So to say that Baker and Taylor does not deal with genealogical publishers
is a misnomer.

 

About 10% of the titles that Heritage Books has in its catalog are
distribution titles. Books that we do not publish, but treat as if we do. So
we might be the only national genealogical book distributor around.

Baker and Taylor doesn't.  They don't even work with Genealogical Publishing
or Clearfield.

Hi, colleagues,

Can any of you recommend national distributors who are not
allergic to local history and/or genealogy titles?  I suspect
that Ingram and Ebsco cannot be bothered to carry this material,
even when it may have a national audience.  Is there anyone else
to turn to?

"Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.  City
living by its definition is crowded.  It is tolerant of other people.  It is
dependent on a sophisticated population that makes a hundred compromises
daily so that they can benefit from the collective energy that a city
generates."     --Robert N. Davis, Jr., May 4, 2004
