Books for your group, at wholesale prices, quoted for your whole order.

Tell us the date on your quote and we plan the shipping to it. Most orders over $95 ship free by ground and arrive in an estimated 7–10 business days, so order at least 10 business days before you need the books in hand (11 from mid-November through December). Need them sooner? Expedited (est. 4–5 business days) and express (est. 3–4 business days) shipping are available on most titles.

Send a valid state-issued sales tax exemption certificate for the ship-to state. Federal W-9 forms and IRS letters can't be used for state sales tax exemption. If it arrives after you order, we take the tax off that same order once your certificate is processed, and we keep it on file for future orders. See sales tax exemption.

Volume discounts start at 25 copies of a title on most books, at 20 on some and as low as 5 on a few, and the price of every copy drops as you order more. Many titles reach 51% off list at 1,000+ copies. The minimum is per title, and you can mix titles on one quote. You can also buy fewer copies at the listed price.

Yes to both. Tick "We need a formal PDF quote for approval" and we send a PDF quote you can attach to a requisition, grant or board request. We accept purchase orders from every buyer, with Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts: email the PO to [email protected]. Need us set up as a vendor first? Our W-9 is on the purchase orders page, and we fill in vendor forms.

Compare the delivered total for your whole quantity, not one copy's cover price: our tiers apply to every copy, and most orders over $95 ship free. If you find a lower delivered price for the same new edition and quantity, send us the link: our price match page explains how it works.

By card, purchase order (Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts), ACH or wire. International orders are paid up front by ACH or wire.

Yes. Search by ISBN to get the exact edition your team uses, and add as many titles as you need. For a long list, use the full quote builder, which takes a spreadsheet.

Yes. One order can go to one address, be split across offices or venues, or be mailed to individual recipients.

For a few titles, yes — StrengthsFinder 2.0, for example — and our specialists can tell you which ones. But we're selective, on purpose, because we'd rather your budget go somewhere it works:

• You pay for every code, not every reader. Group eBook and audio codes are billed when they're issued, and in our experience most are never opened — or are set aside after the first few pages.

• Digital is harder on your people than it looks. Recipients have to redeem codes, create accounts, and manage yet another app and library on their personal devices. What was meant as a gift becomes a chore.

If digital appeals because it seems easier to distribute — let us make print just as easy. We'll set up a simple page where your recipients enter their own addresses, then deliver beautiful hardcovers and paperbacks to each of them, across the country or around the world. No spreadsheets for you, and a real book in their hands.
Our specialists are happy to talk through what will work best for your group.

Publishers sell copies to BookPal on a non-returnable basis, so group orders can't be returned. Misprinted or damaged copies and quantity errors are replaced at no cost if you report them within 5 business days of delivery. We sell new books only. See the Brand New Guarantee.

Often, when the author offers signed bookplates: the author signs the bookplates and we apply one to each copy before it ships. Ask in your note.
