BookPal's website gets an upgrade.

We are excited to announce that our website has a new home and a new look. To continue providing our clients with the best experience possible, book-pal.com relaunched as BookPal.com. We are losing the hyphen and gaining a ton of new content and features. Below are some of our favorite site improvements:

1) Content-Based Category Pages

There’s more to purchasing books than the transaction. We believe books have the unique ability to inspire learning and growth, and we want to make sure you find the right book for your group or organization. Our new category page layout simplifies the (sometimes overwhelming) catalog of books into timely and relevant collections so that you can explore different titles and learn about exciting new releases.

2) More Robust Product Filtering

Hundreds of thousands of books are published every year. While this offers endless possibilities of new books to inspire, educate, and entertain, it can be overwhelming to find that one book that suits your needs. With our new product filtering capabilities, you can sort titles by a variety of attributes including brand, format, language, page length, publication date, publisher, and price.

3) Title Recommendations Form

Not finding the book you’re looking for? Need ideas on books for a summer school program or corporate book club? We’re glad to help. Now, we have a form directly on our website that you can fill out, and one of our product specialists will get back to you with recommended titles based on your criteria.

4) New Quote Request Functionality

As you browse the site, add titles to your quote by selecting the teal “Add to Quote” button located to the right of the “Add to Cart” button. On any page of the website, you’ll notice a teal circle hovering in the top right corner. Here, you can view all products included in your quote as well as past quotes and contact details.

5) Optimized Checkout

Our new, optimized checkout allows for a smoother and more efficient transaction process. Additionally, we are now able to support purchase orders uploaded directly on the site during checkout.

In addition, stored credit card information has not been transferred for security reasons. Please re-enter your payment information when you create your next order. If you typically have a BookPal team member place your orders, we will continue to be able to support you without having to provide this information again.
