Bookstore Orders

What Independent Shops Expect From a Book Order

  1. 1

    Every Title on the Packing List

    A shop that orders six titles needs all six. Every book is barcode-scanned on the way out, so orders arrive complete.

  2. 2

    Copies Ready for the Shelf

    Shops can't sell dented corners. Wholesale orders are packed with care so books arrive ready to face out.

  3. 3

    Inventory Shared With DTC

    Faire orders draw from the same stock as your website, so you never guess how many copies to hold back.

  4. 4

    Backlist and Frontlist Together

    New releases and backlist titles live in one inventory, so a mixed shop order ships together.
