Book Sellers Return Program

Make your book more attractive to booksellers and retailers

When you purchase the booksellers return program, bookstores can order your title with the ability to return unsold titles, which is standard practice in the book trade. When a bookseller looks for your book, it will be classified as returnable in the Ingram Title Database.

Benefits of Booksellers Return Program

  • Removes a key reason why some bookstores might not order your book
  • Improves chances of scheduling book signings and appearances, especially with hometown bookstores
  • Allows book returns yet will not reduce author royalties

Return Program Details

  • A copy of your Ingram database iPage. The iPage is the same page viewed by bookstores and includes availability and returnability information for your book, verifying for the author and retailer the book's returnable status.
  • A letter addressing the most common retailer questions that also provides them with contact information for the iUniverse Book Sales department
  • Special returnability notation on the Ingram Title Database
