Thank you for your interest in selling your book at Village Books on a Consignment basis!
Some of the things you will need to keep in mind are:
1. Payments for book sales are made four times a year, by the end of the month following each quarter (April, July, October, and January).
2. Authors receive 60% of the retail sale price; Village Books retains 40%.
3. A $25.00 one-time service fee is required for each book. This fee helps pay for the extra labor involved in tracking inventory and making individual payments. We also require a signed Consignment Agreement Form (which is posted here as well as available in the store at the Used Counter).
4. It is the author’s responsibility to deliver new inventory and pick up any unsold inventory.
5. If the book sales are very low or nonexistent after a reasonable length of time (typically three to six months), we will discontinue carrying the book on our shelves and will ask you to pick up the unsold inventory.
If these terms are agreeable, please feel free to drop off 4 or 5 books, the completed and signed agreement form, (attached below) and the service fee at the Used Counter (across from the door to the Village Green). Typically, it takes one to two weeks for new books to be processed and put on our shelves. As with all inventory we carry in the store, we retain the right for any final decision to not carry a book if we believe it doesn’t fit the store’s philosophy or our market. Please feel free to contact Jonica Todd, Consignment Coordinator, if you should have any further questions regarding consignment sales at: Jonica@villagebooks.com.
