At Oceanview, we know that each bookseller’s situation is unique. With that in mind, this section will outline the various book ordering options at your disposal so that you can make the best decision for your store.

Basic Distribution Information:

Distributor – Midpoint Trade Books

Vendor Status – Returnable

Independent Bookstore Ordering Options:

1. We highly encourage procurement through Baker & Taylor, Ingram, or other major wholesalers.

2. As an independent bookstore, you also have the option of setting up a direct account with our distributor, Midpoint Trade. Doing so would allow you to order directly from Midpoint following approval of your credit information. For more details on this process, please use our contact form and place “Ordering Information Request” in the subject line.

3. For those booksellers who are unable or unwilling to order through a wholesaler or set up a direct account, a third purchasing option is available. While procurement directly from Oceanview Publishing is not an option, we can offer a direct purchasing method via Midpoint National, a subset of Midpoint Trade. This purchasing option requires an upfront payment from the bookstore or bookseller via major credit card (Mastercard or Visa). For more details including discounts and contact information, please use our contact form and place “Ordering Information Request” in the subject line.

4. Consignment: Oceanview Publishing has a general no consignment policy; however, we hold the right to make exceptions to this policy when we deem a situation to be worthwhile. Please contact us for additional information.
