to pinterest sunday august 23 2026 mrs nelson s book company a literati partners spotlight today i am excited to share another one of the amazing literati partners mrs nelson s book company they provide libraries and schools access to a wonderful catalog of books from trade and school library publishers i love how they offer new releases bestsellers classics and even discounted textbooks and workbooks i had the honor of speaking with patrick nelson from mrs nelson s book company in fact his mom judy started the company in 1985 it s such a special story and patrick is now following in her footsteps here is our conversation i know you will enjoy learning all about mrs nelson s book company friends hi patrick thank you so much for talking with me today i am very excited to learn about mrs nelson s book company let s start by having you introduce yourself i m patrick nelson the owner of mrs nelson s book company my mom judy started the business in 1985 when she opened a children s toy and book shop i spent my childhood surrounded by books and i got to meet amazing authors and illustrators like dav pilkey tomie depaola and lemony snicket i graduated college with a double major in film studies and business economics with plans to work in the film industry but i quickly realized working with book people was much more enjoyable i love that mrs nelson s is one of the literati partners for those who don t know about mrs nelson s tell me about mrs nelson s to start although we are now a nationwide wholesale book vendor serving k 12 schools our company was founded as a regional bookstore for children in la verne a town on the eastern edge of los angeles county our store hosted author and illustrator signings storytimes arts craft lessons and book release parties for nearly 30 years my mom was raising four children and saw the importance of reading especially for young kids most nights she would fall asleep on the couch while reviewing the advance reader copies sent by the publishers planning her purchases for the next season shortly after opening the book store she started offering school book fairs which quickly grew to serve over 450 schools throughout southern california my sister laura and i were both working with our parents after college and in 2005 i started our wholesale division as a way to offer more services and selection for educators specifically books in library bindings that would withstand heavy use in the classrooms things changed in 2015 when we closed our book store due mostly to the growth of amazon and we sold our book fair business to scholastic at the end of 2019 my parents gleefully retired my sister took a job with higher pay and i took over the operations of our wholesale and bindery business since 2021 our company has seen incredible growth as we hired field reps to serve schools in states across the nation and with our partnership with literati we are able to again serve book fair customers tell us about the three different companies within mrs nelson s our company now focuses on three main lines wholesale book orders reinforced readerbound editions and textbook sales we offer virtually any title from hundreds of publishers in both the original publisher bindings paperback and hardcover with dust jackets or in our extra strength readerbound editions these editions come with a lifetime guarantee are built with superior materials and techniques and will outlast any other binding lastly our company has focused heavily on building a vast textbook and workbook inventory to help schools purchase additional curriculum materials at deep discounts what does this mean to mrs nelson s to be part of the literati partners program with others like ozobot novel effect capstone etc partnering with literati felt like a very natural fit for our company and being back in the book fair business is really fun literati has built a strong group of partners to help educators receive quality materials and we re grateful to be an option for schools that need books i attended the texas library association conference with the full literati team and was really impressed with their organization and plans for the future what does mrs nelson s have to offer literati book fair customers schools libraries mrs nelson s is firmly focused on books whether it s the newest hot releases award winners bestsellers non fiction series or textbooks and consumable workbooks to restock a school s book room we have a dedicated website built for literati customers to spend their funds customers can browse a variety of curated book lists or search for titles by isbn title or keyword binding types are available in a variety of formats with inexpensive paperbacks to help maximize buying power or reinforced readerbound editions for titles that need to last for years what does mrs nelson s have to offer literati book fair customers focusing on bringing more to their classrooms with book fair funds due to increased cuts to classroom and library book budgets schools are increasingly relying on book fairs to raise funds to buy books and other materials our goal is to make sure that when literati customers shop with mrs nelson s they will receive a bigger bang for their buck than if they simply take cash and shop with another book vendor are there mrs nelson s products that you want to highlight to book fair customers our readerbound editions have the highest demand among our customers although there are other book wholesalers that offer bound editions ours are uniquely built instead of traditional glued pages we wire stitch our book pages to ensure no pages become loose we add an extra step using an aggressive glue to ensure the book has no gap between the book s spine and the cover thus preventing a loose book block all readerbound editions have a reinforced hinge sturdy board laminated covers rounded library corners and a lifetime guarantee on our craftsmanship what exciting things are coming up from mrs nelson s when i was in high school i was able to visit ray bradbury at his house in la and i spent two hours talking with him about movies writing and his family when his wife called on the phone and asked what he was up to he simply said just hanging out with a friend that left a big impression on me with the closing of our book store and the after effects of the pandemic we lost a lot of connections with authors and illustrators over the last two years i ve been trying to rebuild those connections by hosting dinners with authors and educators we recently had a great dinner with stuart gibbs and another with rex ogle my marketing director kim has also been posting author interviews on our social media and i hope to continue working to connect writers and illustrators to our school customers and students thank you for joining me and sharing so many amazing things about mrs nelson s what a wonderful job you have making an impact on so many readers librarians teachers and communities i can t wait to hear the authors and illustrators you talk to next you can learn more about hosting a literati book fair and book fair
