The work of the Book Project would not be possible without the efforts of the Distributors in the developing countries. The Distributor takes care of the container when it arrives at the port and is responsible for the logistics of ensuring that the books reach their destination as well as for the reporting back to the Book Project. The Book Project ships books to a country only when an institution/individual is able to guarantee, in writing, that they will be able to become a Distributor and will be responsible for handling the shipment when it arrives at the port and for any costs related to customs, temporary storage and inland transportation. Distributors in the past have included Ministries of Education, NGO’s, World Bank staff and spouses posted to overseas country offices, as well as library boards and local book foundations.
