Libraries are the cornerstone of Encounter Books. In addition to history and biography, we believe that your patrons are hungry for serious information about:

• changes in education
• updates in bioethics
• regional demographic shifts
• world crises and terrorism
• family and parenting issues

Realizing that librarians are integral in passing information on to readers, we offer the following programs:

• Institutional bulk discounts of 30% on orders of 10 or more assorted titles and free freight

• Customized Standing Orders (you tell us exactly what you want to receive—biographies, current affairs, history, religion, education, area studies, etc) and we'll ship it automatically freight free right from the printer at 30% discount on any quantity

• Standard Standing Orders (every book we publish will ship automatically as it is released) at 40% discount on any quantity and free freight

• Hassle-free Approval Plans at 30% discount

We guarantee every book and every book is fully returnable. Furthermore, we will replace any book stolen from your library that was purchased directly from Encounter Books FOR FREE!

• We are pleased to now be offering a growing list of our titles in eBook format. The same high quality that defines our print books goes into our eBooks as well, with full editorial support, including indexing, illustrations and design.They are available in Adobe, Microsoft and Palm formats through these eBook wholesalers: Overdrive!, Lightening Source and netLibrary.

Please subscribe to our mailing list so that we can routinely send you new book announcements, views and reviews, educational opportunities with our authors in your library and community, and inside stories. We will be offering pre-publication discounts, conference giveaways, free book offers, and other reasons to look forward to your encounters with us.

Sincerely,
