[OPLINLIST] Purchasing Usborne Books

[Susan Pieper]

Hello,
My Branch Managers and Children's team want to purchase books from Usborne.
As most of you know, these books are sold through "consultants". The
catalog is filled with catching, engaging and compelling titles that I
personally purchase for my grandchildren. I believe the quality and lists
have improved over the decades. Usborne also has a distribution center in
the U.S.

The question is the logistics. I am organizing a display with a local
"consultant" and we will select titles and pay with VISA directly to
Usborne - at least that's the plan. Have any of you purchased these books?
Do you go through an "Useborne seller"? Is it okay to purchase books
through an individual? (We would have to set her up as a "vendor" with W-9
and all the other things our Fiscal Officer would need. But my FO is
wondering if it is an ethical issue.)

We want to add some of these titles to our collections and I am frustrated
as to how to go about it.

Thank you in advance for your insight, advice, etc.
Susan
