About us:
American Booksellers is a family owned business with close ties
to the antiquarian book trade. Dan Gaeta, owner of the John Bale
Book Company, has more than 40,000 books online and the work involved
with managing this inventory made the idea of outsourcing attractive.
Unfortunately, the traditional warehouse solutions are ill-suited
for managing used books.
The answer came from Dan's wife Edith Reynolds and brother Michael
Gaeta. Together they developed a warehouse system for serving
the bookselling industry. The warehouse is in the heart of downtown
Waterbury, one block north of I84 in central Connecticut. We maintain
a floor within a former department store that's clean, safe, and
just one block away from the post office.
Our Mission
The aim of American Booksellers is to provide online dealers of
used books with the same quality service other internet industries
currently employ - affordable and reliable warehouse storage and
order fulfillment services.
Why spend money on rent, salaries, utilities, and the like when
you can put your cash to better use? We provide a temporary or
permanent home for booksellers needing to find new or larger space.
We can assuage the burden of fulfilling orders during times of
transition or relaxation and we can help you get the most for
your money by serving our sellers in a way that maintains the
high level of standards set within this business.
Tailored Costs
Our costs are tailored to suit your individual needs so you pay
only for what you've used. For mere pennies a day your books will
be respectfully maintained and all orders are shipped to your
specification in packaging that portrays you as a seasoned professional
who cares about customer satisfaction. Let American Booksellers
help you fully enjoy the fruits of the internet marketplace by
not letting restrictions of time and space stand in your way.
We want you to have the opportunity to create a source of income
that doesn't depend on your physical presence. As long as you
have access to the internet, you can process your orders
from anywhere at anytime.
Quality Shipping
Shipping for American Booksellers is designed to get your packages
to the customer in a safe and attractive manner. In order to meet
your needs and to keep your costs to a minimum, we offer several
options-from b-flute to double boxing. Each package is clearly
labeled and the appropriate documentation accompanies it. Packages
are dopped-shipped and indicia stamped, so your customer does
not see shipping costs. Since you select the shipping option with
every purchase, no mystery is involved. You can be sure that American
Booksellers is putting your best foot forward with every transaction.
