BFM Services

Key to our success are our innovative search techniques, dogged persistence and unflagging enthusiasm for finding order amid chaos. For more than four decades our mission has been to identify, acquire and supply appropriate Mexican titles in an orderly and efficient fashion.

Our staff of acquisition specialists is the largest and best trained among all Mexican book vendors.

Ours suppliers include academic presses, commercial publishers, private presses, NGOs, trade associations, government agencies, large publishers, individual authors, artistic societies, museums, small publishing houses, and others whose production doesn’t even appear on the radar of most booksellers.

We do not sub-let our acquisitions and delivery services for serial publications to third parties, not even to publishers.

Every copy of every subscription title passes through our hands, so we can guarantee that you receive them promptly. Besides the usual list of oft-seen national serial titles, we also cover local, state and regional publications. We even supply Mexican publications that cannot be obtained through subscription services in Mexico!

Many university libraries are exploring cooperative acquisitions arrangements with other institutions to adapt to today’s changing needs. We participate in a growing number of such projects to pursue three objectives:

1) safeguard core collections

2) ensure that partner institutions receive appropriate publications in the subject and geographic areas that correspond to their commitments

3) reduce duplications between and amongst collaborating libraries.
