Book distribution
If you wish to distribute your book or eBook on a commercial scale, we can assist with global online distribution and Australian retail distribution. All books for sale must have an ISBN (titles with both a print version and eBook version require separate ISBN’s).
To enable bookstores, libraries and other bibliographic services to source your book, we offer the options of registering your book with the major book information services such as:
Legal Deposit
Catalogue in Publishing (CiP)
Thorpe-Bowker Books in Print
Neilson BookScan
Once registered with these database services, your book will be available for purchase by booksellers and libraries around the world. In Australia this includes booksellers such as;
• Border
• Dymocks
• Collins Booksellers franchises
• Independent bookshops
• more than 100 public and academic libraries
Should you wish to have your printed book promoted to retail booksellers through an Australian book distributor we can arrange for your book to be assessed for retail marketing potential by a leading book distributor.
Your book is listed free of charge on Palmer Higgs Books OnLine when you self publish your book or ebook with one of the packages we have on offer. Through Books OnLine your printed book will be available via internet, fax or phone order to direct purchasers, libraries and booksellers in Australia and overseas. Books OnLine also offers eBook distribution capability with full Digital Rights Management, enabling you to securely sell your eBook to a global audience from an Australian based eBookstore.
Books OnLine is non-exclusive, therefore you can use it as your primary method of distribution or as an adjunct to other distribution methods we can help you put in place. Some options include listing your book or eBook with;
• Amazon Print on Demand (includes listing with the world's largest distribution channel of book wholesalers and retailers via Ingram Book Company)
• Amazon Kindle eBookstore
