Thorndike Press offers the largest collection of best-selling books in large print, and Five Star Publishing publishes award-winning western and frontier fiction titles. We’re excited to announce that both publishers are now on Edelweiss+, making it easier for librarians to stay on top of new and upcoming titles and stay ahead of their patrons’ requests!
For librarians who are not familiar with Edelweiss+, it’s a collection development online platform to discover, research, and request titles. (In other words, Edelweiss+ is a librarian’s best friend!) Librarians can save time creating wholesale orders by conveniently collecting titles from any publisher and sending one purchase order to the wholesaler of their choice. They can also stay connected with the latest trends and network with other book professionals to share discoveries – and what’s most exciting – Edelweiss+ is free to use.
