Book Wholesalers and Remainder Distributors

This list of book wholesalers and remainder distributors is constantly changing so you want to check back often for new listings.

Book wholesalers can supply you with multiple copies of front list or back listed titles at discounts of 40% - 45% off the publisher's suggested retail price.

Acquiring wholesale books for retailers is the most common way to market new books to the public.

Remainders

Remainders are books that no longer sell in sufficient volume for a publisher to continue promoting economically.

Therefore, the publisher sells whatever inventory they have on-hand to book remainders distributor and book wholesalers at deep discounts who then sell them to retailers (that's you and me), for as much as 90% off the publisher's suggested retail price.

These books may still have a lot of life left and can be very profitable for Internet booksellers and brick and mortar retail stores. If chosen wisely, you can have a nearly inexhaustible supply of near perfect books acquired at bargain basement prices.
