Order 12+ books and receive 55% off
ATP pays shipping
The American Heritage dictionary defines wholesale as 'the sale of goods in large quantities, as for resale by a retailer'.
In recent years, the word wholesale has been redefined by the online book trade to mean 'drop ship retail'. The publisher ships books to the online retailer at a wholesale discount, often one or two at a time, generally pays postage, and is paid only if and when a book sells. Payment for sales made online can be delayed for as much as 90 days. This arrangement results in maximum profit and no risk to online retailers, and minimal profit and no guarantees of an actual purchase for the publisher.
According to Principals of Fair Trade Publishing, Ancient Tower Press will offer wholesale discounts for the purchase of large quantities:
For orders of 12 or more books, Ancient Tower Press will offer any wholesaler a 55% discount.
Wholesale orders can be composed of more than one book in the Ancient Tower Press catalog – e.g. 6 copies of The Seven Gates of Soul and 6 copies of Tracking the Soul, ordered at the same time, constitute a wholesale order of 12 books.
Payment for wholesale orders must be made in advance by Paypal through the publisher’s account at [email protected]. Email first with your order and ATP will send you an invoice, payable upon placement of the order. Please include the invoice number with your Paypal payment.
Alternately payment can be made by check. Email for mailing instructions.

Once a business arrangement is established between Ancient Tower Press through 3 or more wholesale purchases, terms can be arranged – generally for not more than 30 days, and always contingent on timely payment of the first invoice (included in the shipment).
Wholesalers who agree to these terms and establish a business relationship with Ancient Tower Press will be listed in this weblog as Fair Trade Wholesalers. ATP will gladly promote all Fair Trade Wholesalers to other Fair Trade Publishers.
