SPD now takes electronic orders through Pubnet (SAN #106-6617)! Interested booksellers should verify that they have an open account, and that their SAN (Standard Accounting Number) code is on file. Contact EDI@spdbooks.org for more information. 

We recommend phone, email, fax or EDI/Pubnet orders for most bookstores. 

SPD Recommends is a biweekly fax or email highlighting recommended new titles as they arrive at SPD. To sign up for this service, send us a note with your library name, a contact name, and your fax number or email address.

We publish two New Titles Catalogs per year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. Please call or write to receive our most recent catalogs. You can also search our complete catalog online.

Returns can be made within one year of paid purchase without prior authorization for credit against future purchases. Boxes must be securely packed, labelled "returns," and include a packing slip with customer's claim number and date of return for reference. 

Customers providing invoice numbers, purchase discounts and purchase dates will be credited at the purchase price. All other returns will be credited at 45% off the retail price. 

No credit will be issued for titles not purchased from SPD, nor for returns in unsaleable condition (shopworn, stickered, sticker-marked, or damaged in transit). No credit will be issued for books sold at a non-returnable discount. Returns cannot be accepted for items from unpaid invoices. Titles ineligible for credit will be returned upon customer's request and at their expense.

Credits are good for one year from the date of issue.
