Baker & Taylor is pleased to offer the following renewal pricing for your book leasing services. Please see below for
the terms and conditions of sale for the renewal of book: leasing service for the Lubbock City -County Library:
* Books with a list price of $27.00 or less count as one 1 (one) quota. Books with a list price over $27.00
count as 2 (two) quota. Books with list price over $37.00 count as 3 (three) quota and books with a list
price over $47.00 count as (4) quota.
Baker & Taylor's Book Leasing Program provides libraries with an efficient and economical method for maintaining
an inventory of the most current hardcover titles, titles that patrons demand. Unlike other book lease providers,
we do not include low priced pre -bound paperback books in our lease selection lists. The library will be better
served by purchasing these items at a discount on your firm order account(s).
Our staff of professional book buyers selects titles for this program based upon reviews and anticipated general
public demand. Each month, prepublication title lists are created with comprehensive annotations to assist the
library with selections. Annotations include information on authors and titles, as well as information on planned
promotional tours, print runs, book club selections, and media tie-ins. Additionally, our Quick Ca//publication lists
current bestsellers available through our Lease Program. These titles are available in -stock, and are ready for 48-
hour shipment.
Special requests are also welcome. Requests for hardcover Trade titles not listed in our publications will be
reviewed, and, if possible, will be added to your order.
Quota Information
A book will count as one (1) against the quota allowance, unless the publisher's list price is higher than the quota
price limit. Please see the above chart for details.
Collection Rotation
The library is encouraged to rotate the collection throughout the year by keeping one book (free) for every five
books returned. This builds the library's permanent collection with proven, popular titles. At any time during the
lease period, the library may purchase titles from the collection at a 75 % discount off of the publisher's list price.
Special promotional sales are offered periodically.
Reporting
Baker & Taylor Book Leasing System's inventory report is the easiest to use in the industry today. We provide a
report of account activity on a monthly basis. No additional charge is assessed for lost, stolen, or damaged books.
These books are simply reported via the inventory listing, and the library's records are updated to reflect the
activity. Books which are publisher defective or damaged in shipment will be replaced at no charge.
Thank you for considering Baker & Taylor, Inc., for your book leasing needs. Should you choose to accept the
terms and conditions outlined, simply complete and return the attached Renewal Form. For your convenience,
this form may also be returned via fax to 877.460.6011.
