Bargain Books

To hear some authors, it's difficult to believe that anyone wants books. However, Bargain Book News, the remainder, bargain and value book industry's newsletter, has launched Bargain Book Bids, a means of matching buyers who need books with publishers who have too many. "Whether it's 500, 5000 or 50,000 books, Bargain Book Bids can help," explains Larry May, founder of BBB. Bargain Book News has received numerous requests for information on how to liquidate book product from various size publishers and saw this as a viable industry need that should be addressed," he explained. Bargain Book Bids, a natural transition for Bargain Book News, is a way of connecting sellers with buyers during non-trade show times. Bargain Book Bids will help publishers reduce inventory while helping buyers find inventory. From the website, "The term micro publisher is typically synonymous with independent publishers who may have a book or two that they wish to reduce inventory on in order to move on to another project. Small publishers may have anywhere from 10 to 100 titles that they would like to liquidate." Looks like there's help for the self-publishers with 492 copies of their books still sitting around.
