what people are saying about edelweiss interactive catalogs
“I got a glimpse into the future this week when I bought the HarperCollins children's and the Penguin adult hardcover lists using the electronic catalog Edelweiss instead of the paper catalogs provided by the publishers.”
-- Arsen Kashkashian, Boulder Bookstore, Boulder, CO
“Edelweiss is the perfect bridge for moving to a paperless, web-based system for ordering frontlist books. The potential to aid buyers in their ordering process, reps in their recommendations, publishers in their ability to transmit up to the minute information about their titles and save time, money and energy is going to be a huge benefit to our industry.”
-- Gayle Shanks, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, AZ
“I love the idea of having only one format to learn, instead of learning a new system for every publisher out there.”
--Joe Foster, Maria's Bookshop, Durango, CO
