Consignment

Bookworks is happy to offer a consignment program for local authors.  This program allows Bookworks to carry and feature a much wider variety of self-published and print-on-demand titles than we could through traditional purchasing.  We are able to devote more time and expertise to these titles and assist authors in selling more books with this program.

We do insist on having a local contact, but if you would like your book to be on our Local Authors shelf, feel free to bring two or three copies by the store, and let one of our staff help you with a consignment form, or browse our promotional packages online.

Terms are as follows:

The basic handling fee is $25, non-refundable.  This includes return shipping for unsold product at the end of a consignment period. 

Bookworks will pay the indicated party 60% of the retail price for each book sold.  For example, if the retail price of a book is $10, Bookworks will pay the consignor $6 per copy sold.  Gifts, music., and cards may be 50% of retail price, subject to an agreement with Russell, our sidelines buyer.

Bookworks is not responsible for lost or stolen merchandise.

Bookworks will display the merchandise for three months.  Books left longer than six months after the end of a consignment period will be donated to a charity.

For additional promotional options, please see the attached flyer.

Note about fees: Bookworks handles hundreds of consignments per year.  These fees allow us to continue to accept ALL of the professionally-produced, self-published books from our local authors.  Through this program, consignors now have the same promotional opportunities that traditional publishers enjoy at Bookworks.
