ORDERING OPTIONS

Only librarians purchasing for their library may order from West Circle Books, which sells to libraries exclusively. We do not sell to stores nor to the general public; we do no retail sales. To order from this website, you must be the authorized selector and/or purchasing agent for an approved library. Thank you.

 

 


Telephone

To speak with an actual human being who is glad you called, please dial (815) 485-0605 to have any questions answered. If you should get our voicemail, please leave a message with your name and phone number. We return all calls!


Ordering On-Line

Ordering Online is easy:

To view our books, click on one of the choices from the "Categories" box to the left.

We recommend selecting ‘All Categories’ and scrolling through all of our books so you don’t miss any of our great titles.

When you see a book you want to purchase, click the ‘Add To Book Bag‘ button. We suggest you add any books you are even just considering mildly to your shopping cart as well – you can always delete them later if you change your mind. Note that 1 copy is the default for every title, but to order more just change the quantity.

Using the website is easier, more accurate, and more informational and up-to-date than looking through a paper catalog. If you are only interested in certain subject areas, use the categories list on the left side, click on your interest, and scroll down the titles.

If you have any questions about how to use this website, please Contact Us.

Sales Representatives

About half of the continental U.S. is covered by our sales representatives. If you would like to set an appointment with your representative, please call our office: (815) 485-0605. Our representatives are cordial, honest, and well-organized. They arrive on-time at an appointment of your choosing. At the last P.L.A. conference we heard compliments about all of our reps; the consensus among our customers (your friends and colleagues) is that our salespeople are extremely well-liked; they are friendly, gracious, and knowledgeable, but not “pushy.”


the basics:

• The only difference between the Traveling Warehouse™ and this website is that the T.W. brings you the actual book jacket to hold, look at, & read; the website shows a picture of the jacket.
Contact us by dialing (815-485-0605) or using our online form and we’ll send you a complete set of jackets; every title in our current inventory.
• Look through the jackets and separate the titles you want from the ones you don’t.
Contact us again and we’ll have the Traveling Warehouse™ picked-up and returned to us. Easy.

the details:

About half of the United States is covered by our sales staff; if you would like to find out if your library has an assigned sales person, please call our office: (815) 485-0605. Our sales people are friendly, gracious, patient, low-key, and well-organized; we strongly recommend that you ask for your sales person.

If, however, your library is located in an area without a salesperson, or, if seeing sales people simply doesn't work for your library, one alternative is to order from this website, the other is to request a visit from the Traveling Warehouse.™ This is a very simple procedure.

The Traveling Warehouse,™ simply put, is everything from which to select books except the salesperson. At your request, we will arrange to send you (at our expense) all of the original book jackets from every title in current stock. All book jackets have a price tag inside which shows the original price or value, the discounted library price, the date of publication, and our date of acquisition. Also included are order forms and envelopes, and should you need it, information on cataloging.

When the box arrives, just give us a call and we’ll walk you through it and answer any and all questions. But, basically, the only thing your selectors need to do is look through the jackets and separate the yes’s from the no’s … we’ll do the rest, including all of the secretarial work, if you like, for free.

The whole process takes no more than 30 minutes per selector. Call us back when you’re done, and we’ll have the box of jackets picked up and returned to us. Again, at no cost to you. Nothing, to it!

You’ll look at great titles at big discounts and do so on your own schedule with no pressure. Every book we sell is guaranteed; if any title arrives and it is not what you thought it would be, simply return it to us for credit or refund.

So, contact us today and say “Send us the West Circle Books Traveling Warehouse™!
