IBG Promotional Details

The IBG brings you a great selection of titles each month, all at fantastic discounts and chosen with independent bookshops in mind. In order to make the IBG as flexible and varied as possible, we’re putting you in charge: you choose the titles that you want to sell. And in order to give you as much time as possible to prepare for promotions, the IBG is synchronising with our Buyer’s Notes schedule, so you’ll always know about the titles two months ahead of publication.

The Offer

• 20 IBG titles will be available each month including a range of ‘bookshop’ books as well as more ‘mainstream’ titles
• As an IBG member you will be expected to take a minimum of 20 books from the promotion each month.
• However, which titles you take and what quantities is up to you. For instance, you could take 1 of each title or 20 of a single title.
