Why these earn their shelf space

A passport book is not a book purchase. It is a souvenir with a job — visitors buy it at the start of a trip and come back to it. That changes where it sits in your store and how often it turns.

It sells at the register

Passport-sized at 3.5″ × 5″ and priced at $14.99. Small enough for a counter display, cheap enough to be an add-on rather than a decision.

Testing one costs $350

Fifty units, one seven-pound carton, no minimum order value. You do not need to commit a season's budget to find out whether a title works in your store.

Every title fits somewhere

A national park store, a Texas welcome center, a Colorado outfitter, a Route 66 diner. Seven titles means we can match the list to where you actually are.

The full line

Seven titles, five available for wholesale today. All carry a scannable UPC and a coordinating sticker set. Mixed-title orders welcome — each title ships in its own carton.

Who already carries us

7,696 books into national park stores in one season
