TWENTY YEARS IN
THE BOOK DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS

L.E.A. started its operations in 1978 offering its services to academic institutions in Spain and in the United States. Its growth, slow at the beginning, accelerated in the late 1980’s and it has been an important supplier of books to many important universities and research centers in Spain and throughout Latin America. Our customers trust us with annual orders that can vary from a few thousand dollars to over $50,000.00.We supply them with books in every field of study and in some cases with journal subscriptions. In addition to books published in the well known countries (USA, England, Canada, Mexico, Spain), we have often supplied books published in many more remote nations (Australia, New Zealand, Hong-Kong, Japan, India, several African countries, as well as several northern European countries). If the book is in English or in Spanish and in print, we will get it.

And even if it is long out-of-print, in most cases, we will supply it. Besides fulfilling orders for current publications and an extensive back stock from any publisher, we have also supplied books published in the 19^th century in their original first editions as well as many out-of-print and difficult to find books. One of the most prestigious libraries in Madrid, recently wrote to us saying we had supplied them with some books on the Spanish-American war that they consider are the only existing copies today in Europe.

ADVANTAGES OF USING OUR SERVICE:

1) Extensive: ANY PUBLICATION in any format, without any limitation as to the publisher, place of publication, or the publication format.

2) Expedited Shipments: Most of the books ordered are shipped between three and eight weeks from the time we receive the orders to the time our customers will receive the books. Approximately 15% of all books ordered take longer than that. Summer and Christmas seasons may experience some longer delays.

3) Competitive Prices: While most booksellers importing foreign books usually double their price of origin, L.E.A.’s price most of the times is the publisher’s price. Very often the savings when ordering from L.E.A. is 50% compared with prices offered by many booksellers within the countries we export to.

4) Customer Service: We take pride in offering a personalized customer service more attuned to the needs of most of our customers than that offered by much larger book distributors. All our customers know very well whom they are dealing with. We cannot guarantee there will be no problems, but if there are any, we will take care of them expediently and efficiently. This is the kind of service we offer also all our new customers.
