Readerlink Distribution Services, a publisher and distributor of books based in Oak Brook, Illinois, is the largest distributor of books to mass merchandisers in United States,[1] and the largest distributor of hardcover, trade and paperback books to non-trade channel booksellers in North America. [2] The company has distribution centers in Salem, Virginia; Romeoville, Illinois; and Clearfield, Utah.[2]
In 2015, Readerlink significantly expanded its role in the book publishing and distribution business by acquiring the North Carolina-based book distributor firm of Baker and Taylor's (B&T's) publishing group and U.S. marketing services.[1] The acquisition included B&T's publishing operations for Silver Dolphin Books, Thunder Bay Press, Portable Press, and Canterbury Classics; those imprints, which collectively publish about 500 titles annually, will be continued by Readerlink.[1]
As of 2015, Dennis E. Abboud was serving as Readerlink's president and CEO.[1]
