Ordering from Peyton Stafford Associates is easy, efficient and cost-effective!


Peyton Stafford has been serving Oregon and Washington schools and libraries since 1987. We specialize in electronic and print reference, as well as in library-bound nonfiction for library and classroom set use. Our customers range in size from King County Library System and Multnomah County Library, two of the largest library systems in the world, to tiny one-school K-12 school districts. We save all of them time and money. We assure that they get more books for their materials budget dollars.

Let us know what you want, and we will handle all the paperwork for you. You will get the best publisher-direct prices and promotions. Your discount will be between 25% and 80%. Most orders get free shipping and processing. No wholesaler can match the discounts you get by ordering direct. No wholesaler can guarantee a 98%+ fill rate on these library-bound titles. We can, and we do. No wholesaler will come to your library and advise you on which books will fill your needs. We can, and we will.

The bottom line is that we can and will beat anyone else’s price on new and recent books from the publishers we represent. We don’t promise to compete on prices of obsolete books sold through overstock companies, but we do promise to give you the best deal possible on new and recent reference and nonfiction books from our publishers. We don’t promise to provide an easy-to-use ordering interface, but we do promise to provide the best  books at the best price and usually with free shipping and processing. Whether you are a large, medium or small library, we can and will empower you to get the most books for the least money, and we will personally guarantee that we will do everything we can to make your ordering as easy, as efficient and as cost-effective as possible.

Call or email us, now, so we can help you save time, stress and money! If this seems too good to be true, ask us for references. You will be happy and amazed if you do.

It comprises three Greenhaven series: At Issue, Current Controversies and Opposing Viewpoints. The other twenty-five active circulating Gale/Cengage series and twenty-eight inactive series are not available at all through OVIC, though many of the titles are available as ebooks. Please let us help you fill out your collection with series and titles specifically chosen for your library’s unique needs. There is no overlap between the titles in the OVIC and the Greenhaven ebook titles.
