Value for Money

The UK's Public Libraries procure foreign-language books from Books Asia, CILLA (a consortium of 7 Indic booksellers), and a handful of specialist suppliers.

Buying from Books Asia will save your library over £2,000 per annum (in fees alone). That's equivalent to an extra 200 Urdu or 250 Gujarati books for your readers.
