Self-Publish Statement:
Staffordshire Libraries and Arts Service is often asked to acquire, either by purchase or donation, books that have been self-published.
For your titles to be considered for purchase, they need to be presented to our book supplier Askew and be available for selection via the Askew web-based catalogue.
To ensure your titles can go onto the Askew catalogue, they ask that you send full details of title/s of your publication to the following partner companies:
BDS - http://www.bdslive.com
Nielsen Book Data - https://nielsenbook.co.uk/publish/
Gardner’s Books – https://www.gardners.com/Selling-To-Us
Books donated to Staffordshire Libraries and Arts Service will be reviewed and may or may not be added to our library catalogue. We are not in position to return of a book once it has been donated.
