Where to buy wholesale books in Nigeria
Schools, bookshops and resellers in Nigeria buy books in bulk from publishers and their appointed distributors, from big bookshops that supply schools, and from online wholesalers like Wigmore Wholesale. Buying from the publisher’s network is the surest way to get genuine copies, because pirated textbooks are common.

Tips for buying books in bulk
Order from the booklist
Schools change titles and editions. Order exactly what’s on the booklist and confirm the edition.
Ask about returns
Some publishers and distributors accept returns of unsold stock. Get it in writing.
Check for pirated copies
Look for blurred print, thin paper, missing pages and poor binding. Pirated books damage your reputation with schools.
Bundle with stationery
Parents buy books, exercise books and stationery together. See our wholesale stationery.
