A notice from Our Wholesaler:
Selling your book through our distribution channels
Baker & Taylor (B&T) is one of our distribution partners and is a primary supplier to libraries. B&T distributes books, calendars,
music, and DVDs to schools and both public and specialty libraries worldwide.
LSI submits its title metadata to B&T along to all of our distributors. At Ingram Book Company (IBC) and Amazon, Barnes &
Noble and all of our title info is picked up, where the audience is, the general consumer. Since B&T targets libraries they will, on
occasion, elect not to carry a specific title-- regardless of the printer or publisher -- if they feel it won't generate interest from their
target audience.
LSI cannot *make* B&T or any of our distributors carry a title. It is completely at the discretion of the book buyers at these
Main Home Offices. While a title setup at LSI should be on B&T or any of our distributor sites, we cannot *guarantee* it will be.
