Individual Bulk Order Discount - For those individuals with GIANT wishlists, I highly recommend my individual bulk order discount opportunity. Order minimum $250 in full retail (any books!) and receive free shipping and 50% in free books! So for example, for a $250 minimum order, you’ll get $125 in free books for a total of $375 in books for just $250 plus tax! The overarching discount works out to be around 33% off and the ceiling is unlimited as long as we reach at least $250 in full retail. Other examples - Order $400 and get $600 in books; Order $300 and get $450 in books, etc.

Book Fair Discounts for Groups - Maybe your wishlist is large, but not high enough to hit the $250 full retail order minimum on your own. This option allows you to gather a few other local families to place an order together in order to reach the $250 full retail order minimum. Each family enjoys an overarching 33% discount and free shipping. All books are delivered to one destination for distribution, so this option is best for local bulk orders. Homeschool families particularly like this option, as it can be used for their homeschool co-op or Classical Conversations communities. If you are a CC parent, definitely check out my Classical Conversations Cycle 1 Resource list to gather supplemental book match up ideas for you and your group to use for this upcoming homeschool year.
Depending on your group's needs, I can send catalogs, paper order forms, and/or set up a "browsing only" shopping link or digital "flippable catalog," and a google form for orders to be placed by the members of your group. All orders will need to be entered on my end so that I can apply discounts for your group. I'm also happy to create custom graphics and share verbiage with you to share on social media to promote your group's book fair. Payment can be collected by a point person in your group or I can handle payments. I can take payments via PayPal, credit card payments by phone, or I can send Square invoices to each member in your group who places an order.
The grant matching program was designed to allow PaperPie to partner with individuals, non-profits, businesses, schools, libraries, foundations, educational institutions, etc. to be able to make the most of any grant money or Kane Miller and Usborne Book donations they may have already received.
Say If an organization has $2,000 in funds that it received from a grant or donation and uses it to buy PaperPie products. Then the organization qualifies to receive an additional $1,000 in free books of their choice from PaperPie’s 2000+ products! Please note that there is a $250 order minimum to qualify for this program and shipping is free and orders are eligible for tax exemption.

In 2008, internationally renown children’s book publisher Kane Miller Publishing (the “& More” in Usborne Books & More) was aquired by EDC. PaperPie (formerly Usborne Books & More) sells their books directly to consumers through their national network of brand partners. There are many avenues to sell Usborne Books and Kane Miller Books including home parties, online parties, book fairs, direct sales to schools and libraries, booth events, online sales, book drives, fundraising, and more.
Some retailers may carry a very small amount of our titles, but only a PaperPie brand partner can offer the entire 2,000+ catalog of books. Brand partners can also offer the best price on new Kane Miller titles and can offer the 50% lifetime replacement warranty on any damaged books.
