Welcome to the 2018 MBR Industry Directory. The Magazine and Books at Retail Association continues to seek better communication between the supply chain members that service this Industry. This directory is one of the resources we hope facilitates that effort. MBR will maintain a searchable listing available for MBR members at myMBR.org. Our thanks to Associate Director Jose Cancio, our Art Director Robert Romagnoli, and of course our volunteer Directory Listings Manager John Morthanos for their efforts in putting the listing together. We sincerely appreciate the support of the sponsors of this directory without which this would not be possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out to MBR with suggestions on how we may be able to assist in your efforts to grow the magazine and book categories. — Jerry Lynch, President [email protected] — Jose Cancio, Associate Director [email protected] Published June 2018 OUR MISSION MBR serves as a catalyst for supply channel partners to create innovative growth for the sales of books and magazines at retail. www.myMBR.org 2 MBR DIRECTORY 2O18 CONTENTS 2 Introduction 4 MBR Board & Contacts 5 MBR Members 15 National Distributors 23 National Wholesalers Including Specialty 29 Major Wholesale Groups Corporate Offices & Contacts 33 Local & Regional Wholesalers Including Mass-Market, Newspaper & Specialty 45 International Distributors 51 Vendors 52 Associations MBR DIRECTORY 2O18 3 MBR BOARD & CONTACTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS Associate Director Jose Cancio Chairman PO Box 1257 Drew Wintemberg Morrisville, PA 19067 Time Inc.
