Free book pack
Choose any book pack from pages 24 to 31 of the Teachers’ Choice catalogue up to a maximum catalogue price of £40 – all we ask is that you try the club by taking a quantity of our catalogues and then run it with your pupils. You’ll need at least one catalogue for every pupil – the minimum quantity is 30 to cover one class but bear in mind that the more families that participate then the bigger your first order and the more free books you will be entitled to. View the Teachers’ Choice catalogue to see the selection, you can indicate the pack you would like in the space provided on the Try the Club form and it will be sent to you together with your club material.
Expert book selections
We see thousands of new books but our experienced editor only selects those that we think are of good value for children and that will inform, inspire, delight or amuse. The books are published in the UK but have often originated in other countries and we consciously choose books with an international outlook and with sensitivity to all cultures and faiths. The books are chosen for families where English is spoken and for those learning English providing good authentic material that can be used to support language learning.
How the club works
When you have decided to try the club, we will send you the quantity of pupil catalogues that you require on the basis of one per pupil. The catalogues should be distributed to participating children and within a suitable period of time orders returned with payment to the book club coordinator. Pupil orders can then be entered on the online Organiser and the master order sent to Baker Books. Free carrier bags are provided and for larger orders we offer a Pack by Class service which makes it easier to distribute the books. There are three issues per year: Autumn (Sep-Dec), Spring (Jan-Mar) and Summer (Apr-Jun) – there is no obligation to order from every issue and no minimum order value. The club is simple to operate and help with any queries is readily available from our Member Services team.
The pupil catalogues are printed in GB Pounds and Euros so can be distributed as they are in Euro Zone countries. Outside Euro Zone countries we recommend using the online Organiser which enables a pupil order form to be generated in local currency incorporating the postage charge.
Free books with first order
50% COMMISSION ON FIRST ORDER IN FREE BOOKS
When you place your first order you can select free books to the value of 50% of this order. The commission is earned from orders from one issue of the Funfare/Book Zone catalogues but can be ‘spent’ on any catalogue including Teachers’ Choice which is designed for this purpose. The order for the Free books must be placed at the same time as the Paid books so they can be supplied together. We request that if your school takes advantage of the introductory offer free books that you will at least run a second issue of the club when the standard 20% commission will apply. This offer is only available to schools that are not already participating in the Baker Books club.
Low shipping rates
We use a method of shipment appropriate to the size of the order and the destination. The standard rates for postage and packing are shown as a percentage of the value of the order together with estimated days for transit: UK Free (1-2 days), BFPO 10% (3-5 days), Europe 15% (3-5 days), Rest of World 20% (5-10 days). The rates shown are for door-to-door service plus customs clearance but do not include any local customs charges.
