- AtlasBooks provides publishers full-service distribution to book wholesalers and retailers to facilitate the sale of the publisher's product. This service is established as an addendum to BookMasters' (BMI) fulfillment agreement. AtlasBooks is a division of BMI.
2. When can I expect payment?
3. What discount will my customers receive?
4. What if my book is made out of print?
5. Can I view my AtlasBooks sales regularly?
6. Can I withdraw from this service at a later date?
-
Your AtlasBooks agreement will continue until terminated, in writing, by either party. Upon termination, BMI will continue to accept returns from customers for nine months. Final closeout payment of balance due and disposition of publisher’s remaining stock on hand will be completed within 10 months of the termination date. Publisher’s BMI fulfillment account will remain open during this 10-month period.
7. How do wholesalers supply the bookstores?
- Most independent and many chain bookstores order their books directly from wholesalers, such as Ingram Book Company and Baker & Taylor. It is the publisher's responsibility to notify AtlasBooks of any upcoming consumer marketing programs. AtlasBooks will then forward your marketing plan to the appropriate wholesaler(s) and retailer(s) to encourage them to stock additional copies of your book. It is imperative that all marketing efforts are forwarded to AtlasBooks so AtlasBooks can do its best to inform the wholesalers and retailers of the title's sales potential.
