Member testimonials
“I’m rapt with the service. It’s brilliant that we are getting such a great discount off the new releases and also the best-selling backlist titles. We have ordered the Summer Guide – it looks terrific and the titles are wonderful.” Nicole Maher, Great Escape Books
“We are loving it! Already it is helping us make two fundamental changes – the restock and pick up of new backlist titles that we were reluctant to on our usual base rate, and it has moderated our over-ordering on new release lists. Previously we would order multiples to achieve a bit more margin, and our returns would reflect this. A very attractive feature of the BookPeople program is the ability to order directly through our usual purchasing system (Circlesoft) to achieve the discount. Most of all, I like the fact this program is collegiate and that any (independent) member of the BookPeople can join.”
Libby Armstrong, Beachside Bookshop
