Beautiful books, sold and distributed worldwide
Global Book Sales works closely with a select group of independent publishers, growing their lists by building bespoke international sales and distribution plans for their titles.
UK Sales
We sell directly into UK Key Accounts including Waterstones, Gardners, Blackwells, Foyles, Amazon, Daunt, Harrods and Selfridges, as well as supplying independent bookshops and other retailers with an interest in particular titles. We also sell directly to non-trade retail and wholesale accounts, including specialist booksellers, museum and gallery shops, concept stores, gift and lifestyle retailers, and other targeted niche areas.
Export Sales
Global Book Sales works in export markets all around the world, harnessing a robust network of the very best agents to sell and distribute our publishers’ titles in every territory. We manage all these relationships on behalf of our publishers, from presenting new titles, promoting backlist, managing stock and consolidating all payments.
Book Distribution
In the UK, all our books are warehoused, distributed and invoiced by Macmillan Distribution Ltd. Ingram does the same for Global Book Sales in the US, and in Canada we work with Raincoast Book Distribution. Global Book Sales provides publishers with monthly reports detailing all their sales by customer and title in each individual territory. Publishers will also have direct access to the Macmillan MIDAS system, which enables them to see details of all sales and stock movements.
David Wightman at Global Book Sales has represented GILES since 2014. We have always trusted him to find the best possible markets for our books. He is both responsive and helpful.
