Greetings Comrades - I had standing orders
for audiobooks while I was manager of Windsor Park Branch; with Brilliance for 1
year, Recorded Books for 8 years. In terms of cost, there’s not much
difference in the two. The real difference in the cost of audiobooks
is whether the books are: > Unabridged or abridged > Vendor will replace damaged CD’s
or cassettes for a reasonable price (or not) > Books recorded are popular and/or classic
titles and read by excellent readers (or not) > Current bestsellers are available
while they are current (or a year later) All of these things being equal, you’re
going to pay about the same price. There is a company (I think it’s called
Audio Editions) that puts out a catalog of less expensive audios, really more geared
to abridged, non-replaceable, not brand-new titles. I used to buy from them,
too – you just have to know that once a tape or CD is damaged, you have
to throw the whole set away. Either way you go is fine; you just have
to accept that you get what you pay for. Jennifer I've stopped 2,363 spam and fraud messages. You
can too! From: Laurie Mahaffey
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] One of our member librarians is getting a
grilling from her city finance director over the cost of audiobooks. Do any of
you have a favorite vendor that you consider to be the most economical? Do you have any experience ordering from Brilliance
Audio or Audiobook? Thanks for your insight. Laurie |
