ABA Book Buyer's Handbook Update for the Week of August 12
![Printer-friendly version Printer-friendly version](https://www.bookweb.org/sites/all/modules/contrib/print/icons/print_icon.png)
Below is a brief outline of the most significant recent changes to the ABA Book Buyer's Handbook online. There have been a number of distribution changes since LPC Group stopped fulfilling orders. ABA staff is seeking information on a number of other publishers previously distributed by LPC.
All publishers are asked to inform ABA immediately of changes in distribution arrangements, terms, etc. Booksellers are strongly encouraged to alert ABA of changing terms and new distribution arrangements that come to their attention.
A form is available at http://handbook.bookweb.org/form.jsp that booksellers and publishers can use to report changing terms. Watch BTW for news of the launch of the Publisher Administration section of the Handbook site, within the next few weeks. The Publishers Administration pages will allow publishers to update their company information at any time and will allow them to submit news of special offers that will be posted on the Handbook site for the duration of the offer. All companies currently in the Handbook will shortly receive a letter, which will include their company access code.
