You need a distributor. Publishing Company "A" may act as a distributor for publishing companies "B" "C" and "D". If your publishing company does not operate in the USA or the UK you need to make an arrangement with a company that does operate in the USA or the UK to distribute your books. Generally this arrangement is made with another publisher but not always. I worked for a book vendor for 5 years - supplying books to academic libraries - and I know that we were sometimes the exclusive distributor for a publication. The usual practice is to deal with another publisher. -- Lauraine Armstrong Curator of Collections tel: 867-872-2859 Northern Life Museum fax: 867-872-5808 PO Box 420 Fort Smith NT X0E 0P0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers, is contained in the dog."
