About Us

Some people have told us that Pathway Book Service is one of the best-kept secrets in the book business. When the company was founded in 1978, it began as a niche book jobber maintaining an enviable fill record and its growth was the result of customer recommendations only. Some years later, a number of publishers suggested that a full-scale fulfillment service be added to Pathway Book Service’s offerings. Since then, fulfillment has grown to become the company’s main focus. Our clients range from the most sophisticated and experienced publishers with long lists to those just starting out. Over the years, ownership of Avocus Publishing (www.avocus.com) and then Stemmer House Publishers (www.stemmer.com) was added to fill out a commitment to the total publishing experience.

Pathway has recently added E-book conversion and distribution to our services. Conversion is professional and, very importantly, done in a timely fashion. Converted files can be uploaded to the Kindle, the Nook, etc. Where the files are uploaded is the publisher’s option.

Aside from book fulfillment, Pathway Book Service provides fulfillment for non-print material such as CDs and DVDs, and services orders for producers of games, gifts, puzzles, novelties, umbrellas, crockery, posters—you name it. Courteous and knowledgeable customer service, immediate shipment, accurate sales analyses and inventory reports, plus complete accounts receivable management are all provided at a flat fee based on net sales—no hidden charges, no surprises.
