The University of Minnesota Press (UMP) is now being distributed in Canada by University of Toronto Press Distribution (UTP Distribution). UMP had been distributed in Canada by the Chicago Distribution Center (CDC), which remains UMP's distributor for the U.S. market.
University of Minnesota Press titles supplied to the Canadian market by CDC can be returned either to UTP Distribution or CDC until April 1, 2021. UMP and UTP Distribution will be offering a special 5% discount on orders of any size to independent bookstores through the end of 2020 to celebrate the new partnership.
UMP director Douglas Armato commented: "We feel a true alliance with our customers and authors in Canada, with whom we share so much--a common culture, habitat, First Peoples land and heritage, and shared concerns for equity and social justice. This partnership with our friends at the University of Toronto Press will allow us to serve Canadian scholars, students, libraries, and bookstores much more smoothly, efficiently, and economically."
