At Barnes & Noble, we want to be sure our vendors get their books and other products on sale in our stores and online as quickly as possible.  The policies and guidelines in this section, developed according to voluntary industry standards prepared by the Book Industry Study Group (BISG), cover the steps from initial bar coding through routing of incoming freight. And, through our Efficient Receipts Program, we monitor and report to our vendors about their compliance with our specifications.

Coming soon: We are preparing business procedures for transacting business with Barnes & Noble.  Please continue to use existing practices or follow the direction of your DC vendor contact until we inform you that that the new documents have been posted.
