Follett

 

Follett Library Resources maintains the largest selection of inventoried titles for grades K-12 in the industry. Unlike some vendors, Follett specializes in the school market. As a vendor for over 3,500 publishers, the discount we offer will vary depending on the publisher and type of binding. Follett  disseminates the best binding available for every title we ship. This will consist of publisher's library bindings or prebound hardbacks. The rebound hardbacks are referred to as Follett Bounds. All Follett Bounds are guaranteed for life. In addition, many of the Follett Bounds are approximately 40% less expensive than the publishers library bindings. Follett uses as cost/plus method of pricing books to ensure each book can be acquired at a discounted price. With this taken into consideration, Follett's discount will go as high as 30% for publisher, single library and short discount bindings and up to 45% for trade, prebound hardback, and prebound paperback bindings. Our catalog prices reflect this discount and are net priced. Follett offers free shipping for any size order.

 

If you have any questions about our unique array of products and services, please don't hesitate to contact your local Follett Account Manager. David Brooks is the local Account Manager. He can be reached at 1-888-511-5114 Ext. 741
