Determine the best fit for the avenues you want to sell your book on- we have 3 options.
1) Itasca Books only:
Advantages: No shipping charges to or from Amazon or resellers, we fulfill orders within one business day if a book is in stock. You make the most from the Itasca site.
Disadvantages: Less visibility when searching for your title.
2) Itasca Books/Amazon Seller account only:
Advantages: All orders are fulfilled by Itasca’s warehouse. No shipping charges to or from Amazon or resellers. Few returns. Your title will be on Amazon, but shipped from Itasca, so you will get the visibility without sending your books to their warehouses. With Amazon seller account, you will make more money than having your title in the Advantage account. Amazon seller orders are fulfilled within one business day.
Disadvantages: No Amazon prime with Seller account. We will charge the $4.50 shipping fee to ship Amazon seller orders.
3) Full trade: Itasca Books, Amazon and Resellers (distribution to the trade):
Advantages: Your book will be available on Amazon, Ingram, Baker & Taylor and the other resellers, and your title data will be sent to Barnes & Noble. Bookstores like to order from Ingram for ease, and Ingram is the vendor of record for Barnes & Noble.
Disadvantages: Resellers charge freight to and from Itasca, charged to publisher.
