<div dir="ltr"><div>Adding another question to this inquiry- Do any of the other options you are using allow for subscribing to authors and series? One of my favorite parts of Baker and Taylor has been the option to have carts automatically made for me based on certain authors or series that I subscribe to. I like how specific it is. I'm not talking general genres or bestsellers lists like you can subscribe to for Centerpoint and Gale/Thorndike, but actually sign up for every new James Patterson, Danielle Steel, My Hero Academia, etc.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="SignatureSanitizer__MailAutoSig"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva""><br></span></b></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="SignatureSanitizer__MailAutoSig"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva"">Laura Hauch</span></b></a></p>

There is also Emery-Pratt. It is a Michigan company. I used to order YA from them when I worked at a different library system. I was always happy with them. Maybe another to consider?</div>
