Biblio.com Sellers Secure New Sales Channel Down Under
Biblio.com, one of the world's largest suppliers of used, rare, and out-of-print books announced today a new strategic partnership with BiblioQuest International. Biblio.com provides an online service connecting book buyers and collectors with thousands of independent booksellers worldwide. BiblioQuest is the owner BibliOZ.com, Australia’s leading search service for out-of-print, and collectible books.
(PRWEB) April 15, 2005 -- The new BibliOZ.com Reseller Program will allow
booksellers that currently list their inventory with Biblio.com, to also
optionally list their books through BibliOZ.com, thus opening a separate sales
channel to the Australian book buying market. Australia’s yearly book purchases
are estimated at well over one billion Australian
dollars.
"Through our strategic partnership with
BiblioQuest International, we are not only adding a substantial sales venue for
our booksellers, but we are also excited to be forging a mutually beneficial
relationship with a major international partner that shares our core values,"
said Brendan Sherar, President and CEO of Biblio.com,
Inc.
Biblio.com and BiblioQuest International
will begin signing up booksellers for the new program today, and BibliOZ.com
will make their new partner’s book listings available to the public through
their web site on the 26th of April.
Paul
McShane, the Managing Director of BiblioQuest International said, “Our alliance
with Biblio.com on this program and other projects we have planned provides
another option for booksellers to diversify and grow their sales in a
cost-effective way.”
BibliOZ.com – BiblioQuest
International
BiblioQuest International Pty Ltd (BQI) was established in 1994
and soon became recognized as Australia's leading specialist book search
service, mainly due to the fact that BQI secured agreements with the major
Australian bookshop chains to provide an out-of-print search referral system for
their customers. BQI established BibliOZ.com through reseller programs with
online booksellers worldwide. BQI also continues to have a book search operation
conducted by their freecall telephone service center that has a growing customer
base among leading libraries in Australia and New
Zealand.
BiblioQuest has been an active player
in the international online bookselling community, and as such has seen many
changes in the market over that time but have continued to survive and to
prosper. The company is located in Bowral, in Southeast Australia.
Biblio.com
Biblio.com Inc. is now one of the leading sources for
used, rare, out-of-print, and hard-to-find books in the world. With the launch
of their online services in February 2003, Biblio.com entered a market dominated
by several major companies, as well as more than a dozen smaller competitors.
With substantial growth in the last two years, Biblio.com has gone from a
fledgling company to becoming the third largest site of its kind in the world.
Biblio.com currently offers 17 million titles from 2600 independent booksellers
in 24 countries.
