BookMasters Distribution Services, Inc. (BDS) the new midwest trade distributor who made a great impact at the recent Book Expo America, signed three publishers and will begin distribution for the Spring 2010 season.

Jeremy Nurnberg, Vice President of Sales, announced today that BDS has signed CRW Publishing, Exisle Publishing, and Ian Allan Publishing to North American distribution arrangements. Nurnberg said, “We’re thrilled to add these publishers who complement what we are building at BDS, which is to tactfully expand our list and have a broad reach into various categories.” 

CRW offers their international best-selling Collector’s Library series, which has sold approximately 5 million copies worldwide, but has never been available to the trade in North America. Starting with 24 titles this spring, the series offers a new twist to traditional classics, a “gifty” approach. These wonderfully packaged unabridged classics are attractively priced beginning at just $7.95 in hardcover, with real cloth binding, gold edges, and ribbon markers.

Exisle Publishing offers a wide selection of non-fiction titles in categories such as humor, equine, health, body/mind/spirit, and science, among others. Entering the North American market for the first time, Exisle will begin by distributing approximately 5 to 10 new titles per season via BDS.

Ian Allan Publishing produces high-quality illustrated titles on a wide range of subjects, including railways, race cars, history, sports & leisure, aviation, maritime, military, and many others. BDS will take on a substantial backlist and approximately 40 to 50 new titles per season. Distribution had previously been through Casemate Publishers and Specialty Press.
