Audiobook News and Reviews

   Letter from the Sales Director
Great news…

Brilliance Audio listened! Librarians want to choose which audiobooks are right for their library. Whether the choice is for lower priced unabridged audiobooks or library edition audiobooks with their lifetime-free-replacement guarantee, it’s now YOUR CHOICE which “edition” to purchase and where to purchase it. Brilliance understands that Librarians benefit from having choice.

Brilliance Audio, in partnership with our wholesalers, distributors and publisher friends, is taking revolutionary steps toward delivering choice. This Fall, expect to find Brilliance Audio retail editions available from every major distributor of audiobooks in the United States. You can expect to see our retail editions re-sold in sturdy cases and shelf-ready for your library, much like the original Brilliance Audio Library Editions but without the lifetime guarantee. Brilliance Audio has approved this new (and perhaps radical) change so that more Brilliance Audio titles are available to your patrons. For a list of approved distributors, please contact your Brilliance Audio sales representative. Brilliance Audio retail editions purchased through any of our distribution partners are excluded from the Brilliance Audio Lifetime Free Replacement program.

As always, our tried and true Brilliance Audio Library Editions continue to be the premier choice for libraries looking to take advantage of LIFETIME FREE REPLACEMENTS. When you purchase Library Editions direct from Brilliance Audio, the fact is, the “price you pay” may be no more than the price you might pay when choosing to purchase a less expensive repackaged retail edition (after applying the lower discounts available through the wholesalers). And, as you know, our customized Standing Order Plans have low minimums and deliver super-deep discounts with free freight.

Whatever choice you make, choosing titles published by Brilliance Audio will mean that your patrons are listening to the best… and that’s a great choice !!!

Sincerely,
Steven F. Woessner
Sales Director, Brilliance Audio
