BA Guide to Retail Services & Accessories

The BA Guide to Retail Services & Accessories is specifically designed for booksellers and, in its printed form, has proved itself a very useful tool in bookshops across the UK. The Guide pulls together a wide range of suppliers to the bookselling industry, from shopfitters to internet consultants, and from financial advisers to greetings card manufacturers. If you want information but don't know where to begin looking, here's the place to start.

For the first time we are providing this information online, with the intention of making it easier to use for booksellers. Entries in this Guide are mainly either well known book trade companies or suppliers recommended to us by booksellers. Other entries have been compiled from trade exhibitions and magazines. While every attempt has been made to gather the addresses of key suppliers, the omission (or inclusion) of any company does not necessarily reflect the quality of the products or service they provide.

If booksellers have any ideas for improving the Guide we would be happy to hear from you, either with the names of any particularly good suppliers who are missing or if you spot any errors.
