Listing a book in the Boomerang Books database.
Boomerang Books is essentially a book ordering service, which means that
we do not hold large quantities of stock. We will generally only
order a book from the publisher upon receipt of an order from a
customer. Accordingly, we do not buy quantities of books from
publishers without a firm order.
It is possible to sell your book via Boomerang Books, but to do so,
you must first do two things:
1. List your book in the
Nielsen
Bookdata book feed. Nielsen Bookdata is our database provider. Please contact Nielsen separately to
arrange for your book to be listed - phone (02) 9986-7084 or email
bookdata@bennett.com.au for
more details.
2. Establish an account with Seekmedia. Seekmedia is our
book fulfilment provider. Please contact Richard Parslow at Seekmedia
via email -
rparslow@seekmedia.com - to
establish an account so that our customers
(and customers to other websites that use Seekmedia) can order your books.
Altering an existing listing in the Boomerang Books database.
If your book is already listed in our database, then it is available for
sale from Boomerang Books. If your listing is incorrect or needs
to be changed, it is important that you contact
Nielsen
Bookdata to correct this (phone (02) 9986-7084 or email
bookdata@bennett.com.au), as this is the source of our book
information (and the source of many other online bookstores and in-house
book cataloguing systems). Changes will be updated within 7 days
as we take a weekly feed from Nielsen.
Book Giveaways. Boomerang Books is happy to receive book
samples for use as giveaways (signed copies are very welcome!). In return, we will happily
showcase your
book in our fortnightly newsletter (currently sent to approximately 6500
