How to choose a bookshop or distributor

For textbooks and examination guides, confirm the exact title, author, publisher, edition, ISBN and syllabus compatibility. For bulk institutional orders, ask for a written quotation that specifies quantities, delivery arrangements, returns, taxes and payment terms.

Book distributors commonly supply retailers, educational institutions and libraries, while publishers are responsible for producing and releasing titles. A local book agency may offer retail sales, wholesale supply or ordering services; confirm the particular services offered before placing an order.

Information for authors and institutions

Authors seeking publication should review a publisher's subject specialisation, editorial process, royalty terms, copyright arrangements, printing costs and distribution channels. Institutions purchasing books should request a tax invoice where applicable and check whether the supplier can source current editions.

In India, ISBNs identify particular editions and formats of books. Authors and publishers can consult the Raja Rammohun Roy National Agency for ISBN for official information. Copyright guidance is available from the Copyright Office, Government of India.
