SPEED

The SPEED reorder incentive program is offered three times per year, enabling booksellers to get 2-day rush shipment on reorders, but only pay ground costs. Freight will be prepaid by MPS. This promotion ONLY applies to reorders of titles orders within the last 90 days, and total order must not exceed 300 pounds. Bookstores must specify the word "SPEED" in all orders (Pubnet, fax, phone, email, mail).

Inventory in place

We invite you to participate in our Inventory-In-Place Program, allowing you to retain excess stock rather than return it to us - without paying for that stock until February. This program applies only to college textbooks ordered for first semester classes that will be needed again for second semester. View our program flyer and form below.

First day of class

Over the past years, professors, booksellers, and publishers have all noted that fewer and fewer students are opting to purchase their course materials, with recent industry research indicating that as many as 1 of every 5 students does not buy the assigned material. The negative results have impacted not only student preparedness, success, and retention.

So what are we doing to help?

MPS has been working hard to partner with campus bookstores to ensure students are prepared for their courses. We believe that next to the instructor, a well-designed and thoroughly researched textbook and its supplements are the most valuable and reliable learning resources college students have at their disposal. Therefore, we want to help students understand the value of textbooks, and in turn, enhance their classroom experiences and performances.

MPS (Bedford/St. Martin's, W. H. Freeman, and Worth Publishers) launched our First-Day-of-Classes initiative years ago to help communicate the importance of course materials and to help professors, bookstore managers and students.
