Trade Information

As a part of Canelo, August Books is distributed in the trade by Macmillan Distribution (MDL).

Canelo is keen to work with booksellers of all types and sizes, and wish to support retailers to promote our books the very best they can. If extra discounts, events, or resources are of interest, in the first instance please contact us via sales@canelo.co.

Introducing Edelweiss

Canelo uses Edelweiss to share its monthly briefing catalogues. Edelweiss is a sales and marketing platform where publishers host their titles and catalogues in an engaging feature-rich site, supported by in-depth metadata.

As a bookseller, you will find it helpful for discovering new titles, organising books into lists, selecting titles to purchase and make and share orders. It is free for booksellers, book buyers and other book industry professionals.
