Dear Publisher or Supplier,
The alternative bookshop is back! After years of
sad decline, now a new outlet for alternative, small press publications
is available: Alternative Bookshop Online (ABO).
Alternative Bookshop Online consists of a
website listing in over thirty different subject categories a
wide range of books and pamphlets that are not generally available
in most bookshops. Customers can select, order and pay for these
publications on-line. Orders are emailed to the suppliers who
directly despatch them to customers.
Alternative Bookshop Online retains only
30% of the publisher's recommended retail price in commission.
Also customers make a contribution towards postal charges - £1.50
for a book and £0.35 for a pamphlet in the UK - which is
passed on to the publisher. These terms are much more favourable
for publishers than those offered by other booksellers.
Using Alternative Bookshop Online as a distribution
outlet with both national and international reach would boost
both your volume of sales and profit margins.
If you would like your publications to be considered
for inclusion in the ABO Catalogue then please examine
the text of the ABO Agreement with Suppliers here
