Book Returns - A Work In Progress |
|
|
Books being returned to Infinity in perfect condition by bookstores will be put into the micro inventory we maintain on many of our popular titles. Books returned in damaged condition—but with all their pages and still readable—will be donated to various literacy groups in the United Sates. We believe it is important to play an active part in supporting programs teaching folks to learn the joys of reading.
We’re not presenting our new return policy as a program that’s all complete with everything figured out and all the questions answered. Large parts of the program have been worked out and many of the hard questions answered with the right answers. Most importantly, we are ready to start accepting orders for returnable books from bookstores. However, we want to carefully evolve our new return program to be cost-effective and to provide positive benefits for bookstores and our authors. We are delighted that we are able to implement this program without causing our authors to incur an additional expense to participate. It’s sad that so many of the POD publishing services using Lightning Source as their printer have additional charges for just providing basic services. We continue to be dedicated to providing more services for our authors and to continue earning our profits by selling more books through expanding Infinity’s channels of book distribution. What you can do to help promote our new return program is to make a visit to your local independent bookstores. Tell them that you’re a local author published by Infinity and let them know they can order your completely returnable book directly from Infinity Publishing. |
