Approval Plans

Hundreds of important academic and university libraries worldwide depend on our acumen to reinforce and enhance their traditional book selection and acquisition processes. Every year we offer thousands of appropriate titles on a contingency basis whereby all participating libraries can return any unwanted publication for full credit. Our experience and expertise translate to a returns rate of less than two percent. We hit the target more than 98% of the time!

• No two university or research libraries are alike. We employ an exclusive approval plan profile to drill down to the unique collection requirements of each library. In this era of library redefinition, we let your specifications fine tune our selection criteria to achieve the most relevant array of publications appropriate to your institutional and historical idiosyncracies.
• We do not engage in monkey business. We respect our approval partner’s budgets and observe them carefully. We avoid cost overruns and we spread shipments of books evenly over the course of the year.

• Libraries love our approval plans because they trust our judgment, perseverence, integrity, and discernment.
• Some of our approval plan partners include the following:
