AtlasBooks Distribution Blog

This week, we will start with the question and answer first.

Can I get a list of stores you sell to?

You can track who is buying via your Account Management page. For a broad list, we sell to all the major wholesalers and retailers (for example: Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-a-Million) as well as regional wholesalers and retailers (for example: Partners West, Powell’s). We also sell to independent bookstores, libraries, and specialty markets.

This week’s publisher resource question is another general housekeeping topic. We encounter this question most frequently when a publisher is considering AtlasBooks as their book distribution partner.

While we could hand out a list of every bookstore that buys our books, that isn’t necessarily the point. The underlying question is, how broad is the distribution channel? As stated in the answer, AtlasBooks sells to a wide range. We work with everyone from large wholesalers and retailers all the way down to individual consumers. The possibilities are almost endless. A consumer can go to pretty much any bookstore and that bookstore would have the ability to get the book to the consumer.

A logical follow-up question is then, “where will my book sell?” This is where our Account Management system comes in handy. BookMasters shares detailed information about where your books are sold via a real-time reporting system.
