Thorndike Press® Large Print Books
Sherry Cookson of Thorndike Press is giving us the same discount structure that she has offered to the other regionals in the state. MVL discount includes 20% off individual titles and free shipping. Gale and Thorndike used to require a minimum purchase of 100 titles but that is apparently not the case any longer and that's why Sherry is reaching out to smaller libraries. Until full details are available, please call Sherry directly (contact info below) with questions.
