Come hither you wise mnetters - If I want to resell books do I need to....

[Mummy2TandF]

Contact the printers,authors or resellers?
I want to stock all manner of books on a particular topic, so there will be a lot of people/companies to contact - just not sure how to go about it.
Do you know if I would be able to get publisher etc to dropship for me, so i don't have to stock a huge range but can order individually and they would send directly to the customer? Sorry am new to all of this. TIA

Anybody?

You need to get in touch with a wholesaler and open an account. THE or Gardners.

Have a look at the websites.

Publishers won't usually sell you individual copies.

HTH

If you want to REsell books don't expect the authors to be terribly happy. They won't get any money for the resell and may think you are depriving them of royalties on new copies.

Bridie3 - Thanks,I don't think I really mean reselling, I mean obtaining the books from wholesalers etc as a normal shop would.
Bobbiewickham - Thanks for that info, will have a look at those
