Book Programs Made Easy. As Easy as ABC.
American Book Company
The Book Program Partner Retailers Trust
As a pioneer of exclusive publisher contracts, American Book Company (ABC) has built its business by partnering with major publishers to efficiently manage overstocks and returns. Over the last 25 years, that expertise has evolved into a trusted system for turning excess inventory into effortless, retail-ready book programs.
From mass merchants to specialty stores, ABC helps retailers boost profits and make the most of every square foot through curated assortments, turnkey displays, and flexible merchandising models. Our bargain book programs are built for performance, offering a no-risk setup where you only pay for what you sell.
In 2021, ABC joined the Book Depot Inc. group, streamlining the bargain book supply chain while unlocking access to a broader range of titles than ever before.
Today, ABC continues to expand its reach, helping retailers turn shelf space into both profit and experience. The latest example? DECO BOOKS, a collection of color-coordinated sets designed to meet the growing demand for books that double as decor. Easy to style and easy to sell, they offer a fresh opportunity to engage style-conscious shoppers in-store or online.
