Bookazine operates as a full-service wholesale distributor in the book and periodical publishing industry, based in Bayonne, New Jersey, and founded in 1929. Its catalog spans new releases and back-list, with particular emphasis on children's titles, small press and regional works, LGBTQ titles, and pop culture formats such as graphic novels and manga. The company serves thousands of bookstores and libraries in the United States and around the world, supported by relationships with more than 25,000 publishers and by rapid fulfillment from major publishing houses, aided by its proximity to Manhattan. Describing itself as the nation’s oldest and largest independent wholesaler, Bookazine relies on a team of booksellers who provide ongoing service to customers. It offers programs to support new store openings and store upgrades, assigning a dedicated sales representative to assist clients through the process. A recent development involves a partnership with Landmark to host a book exchange and provide a 10% discount on same-day purchases when donors contribute pre-loved books.
