If you’ve ever wondered exactly what a remainder is, or a “hurt” or promotional book, here’s a wonderfully educational article that will bring you up to speed on the bargain book part of our business:
Remainders: These are books that have “remained” in the warehouse. Simply put, a publisher has printed more books than they sold and are discounting what sat in the warehouse. These books are in pristine condition and are usually sold to “remainder houses” who bid on large quantities and then re-offer them in discounted form back to bookstores.
