Shelf Awareness
The Australian Booksellers Association and U.S. wholesaler Bookazine have partnered to offer a central buying model that will allow ABA member bookshops to take advantage of wholesale discounts for U.S. book purchases. The arrangement will be similar to the Australia Post model, operating with centralized billing from the ABA. Jonathan Tuseth, Bookazine's director, international sales, said the wholesaler "is very excited to partner with the ABA to offer choice to its member stores. We are a global supplier to leading bookstores and want to extend our support into the Australian market." He also noted that Bookazine team is eager "to help sustain a strong bookshop market throughout Australia."
ABA CEO Joel Becker commented: "We believe this is a great opportunity to extend our range of services to members, and to provide additional options for speedy, efficient service when requiring books that aren't available locally."
