Hi Jenni,
Thanks for this excellent list of suppliers. It's very much appreciated. Most of our non-teaching purchasing is done through ProQuest approval plans and although I inherited the plan as it currently is set up, I am concerned whether it's largely just handing more business to the big publishers who're supplying the same titles held in academic libraries all over the UK (although to be fair, some of these do have a good focus on Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc.) From checking some titles from African Books Collective and Clarke's Books, these can be purchased via Coutts Oasis, which should make our Acquisitions team happier. It would be good to have a list of recommended suppliers for those wanting to diversify their collections; not just Africa, but other parts of the Global South (even if it's just something like a shared Google Doc).
We also have small approval plans with MIPP and Latin American Bookstore.
Best,
Kevin
