We come to you.

You know your library's collection and the needs of your patrons better than anyone. You also know that the best way to evaluate books is to see, touch and fully examine them. That way, what you see is truly what you will get.

That's why we're in the people business. We believe you prefer, as we do, to talk with—and deal with—people.

Your GUMDROP professional makes an appointment to bring sample books to your library for you to review. You can assess the quality of print, bindings, illustrations, paper and reading level—right on the spot.

Of course, all the rest of the books are identical in scope and quality to the sample you see. Some titles are available in complete sets and some are available individually as a part of a series.
