[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] book vendors

[Egan, Danelle]

I just want to summarize information I got from everyone in case anyone
else is in the same dilemma.
Suggestions I got:

   - Rainbow Books
   - Barnes and Noble Classwork- contact the rep to set up an account- rep
   is on CLC site
   - Permabound
   - Mackin- CLC members get discounts
   - Penworthy
   - Greg at Gumdrop Books
   - Ingram- CLC members get discounts

It seems like processing is a major hold up. I will be using the self
service option for processing from different companies (they send stickers,
you put them on) for the foreseeable future. Also, supply chain issues are
gumming up the works as we all know.

I will be looking into the CLC discounts this summer with the publishers.
Thank you to everyone who responded! Summer is coming- hang in there! :)
