That's actually one of our hottest categories, but there aren't as many returns, so they're more difficult to find. Clarion and Harcourt release remainders only every 18 months or so. Among the most desirable children's books are now pop-ups and things with gimmicks, but they can command a price that's out of the range of children's titles. This fact provides opportunities for a promotional children's book company like Playmore. So now we're doing more board and pop-up books.
High quality is the key.
Today we're finding success with teacher-related materials, which I think reflects the current emphasis on home schooling and charter schools. Abound Religion is spreading throughout the land. Religion publishers are about 10 years behind, because they've always given remainders to prison ministries or sent them overseas. Since they've gotten into outlets like Sam's and Costco, however, they're getting more returns. May notes that general trade stores are slowly becoming more receptive to religion bargain books in part because of the surge of interest in spiritual books over the last decade.
