----------------------------Original message---------------------------- At Cranbrook Academy of Art Library, we also have an institutional purchasing card (i.e., Mastercard), so we often take advantage of Amazon.com's ease of ordering and speed of delivery. Since many of their titles are discounted 20-30%, we've found that their discounts usually match or exceed those offered to us by Baker & Taylor (our acquisitions volume is too small to qualify for B&T's larger discounts) . I am careful to order many titles at once and batch the shipments to keep down the shipping costs -- again, they are no worse than B&T when handled in this way. I have also used Amazon.com's out-of-print search service several times with excellent results. If you have an institutional credit card, I highly recommend Amazon.com for library acquisitions!
