Book fair provider ???

There is another company. I got info from them last year at the Chicago PTO Today conference.

I am going tomorrow and will report back if they are there again. (Unfortunately I passed on the info and it disappeared!)

They seemed better than Scholastic.

As I've posted here before, I hate Scholastic. I'm the book fair chairperson at our school and I find working with Scholastic is miserable. We do all the work and they make all the money. It's a lousy fundraiser but the kids love it so we continue to do it every year. We made as much money off our cookie dough sale this year with no effort as we did off our book fair where I sat there for a whole week and organized donuts with dads and a family night.

Anyway, as far as I can tell there aren't any alternatives to Scholastic. I have heard that there are smaller companies that do a kind of book fair, but nobody that brings in the wide selection of books that you can get from Scholastic. I have never seen any advertisements from other book fair companies. I always thought it would be a great business to start because so many people hate Scholastic.

We have had a huge disagreement with Scholastic. I thought it would be easy to find a new provider, but it is turning out to be more difficult. Anyone use someone different? Anyone you'd recommend? We are a small, rural school that draws a large crowd to the book fairs. Thank you in advance.
