Is this the best place to order readers for a classroom library?

It is.  First, we carry independent authors and book publishers all in the same place. Second, authors make as much or more distributing through CPLI and we manage all of the billing, shipping, ordering and storage for them.  For three of our authors we are the only U.S. distributor as they are located out of the country.  

Shipping is free on Amazon.  Why not order there?

Orders do not come in one package.  School districts have trouble with inventory and purchase orders.  Books often arrive damaged when ordered in large quantities.  We package with recycled materials taking care that books are not damaged.  When you buy through us, you'll hear about the next book an author publishes or a teacher's guide that is only available directly through the author.  Amazon does not tell the author who purchased their book.   Lastly, free shipping is not free.  Packaging, delivery, gas and delivery drivers are real costs.  The cost of shipping comes from the author's profit on each book.  Shipping charges from USPS or UPS are passed on to the purchaser and the author keeps their royalties. 

Can I order books from an independent author / publisher?  I heard there was a list.

There is an order form that includes all available readers that we know of.  You can download that order form and return it to email info at  CPLI dot net.  If payment is made by check, we can offer a 10% discount.  Click on book catalogues.

I'm tax exempt. How do I order?
