I agree.  I worked with Greg for years before I retired.  He was unfailingly a pleasure to work with: always well-prepared, informed, and extremely helpful.  Being able to examine nonfiction books, particularly series entries, was really valuable.

I highly recommend Greg and Gumdrop.

I second Gumdrop - Greg is awesome to work with! My orders from Gumdrop came so quickly compared to Mackin placed the same day. They do processing but send the barcodes/call numbers so you place them yourself, but still easier than having to print your own call numbers. I usually do all/most of my nonfiction through Gumdrop for that reason!

Hi Danelle!

I love Gumdrop. Old school...will come to your school, but I love it. I give some topics of things I'm looking for and Greg always comes prepared. 

I also subscribe to JLG.

Have a great rest of your school year!

Good morning,

Has anyone had success ordering from any other book vendor other than Follett? (orders coming in a timely manner...)

The delays are months long and this has been an issue for over a year, so I am wondering if it is time to look elsewhere. 

Thank you for any information you can provide!
