I live in the Uk and sell second hand books, I usually get my stock from book shops which are shutting down, and recently I have been getting blocks of new books which seem to sell really well.
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to buy these books from the publishers! I either can't seem to find where to buy them from, or the places don't respond to my questions.
Can anyone give me some advice or clues where to start please? I need a uk company that can supply me (and doesn't want me to buy 10,000 at a time!)

Thank you for any answers in advance.
 
Sometimes you can get publishers to sell you closeouts/remainders. However, these days, paperback remainders are fairly rare in the US at least, as the publishers want the book sellers to strip the books and just return the front covers, to save on shipping.

If you do manage to find a company that might be willing to sell you remainders in a fairly low quantity, remember that you generally won't get to pick individual titles. This is something that I looked into for my own used book shop, but I live in the US, so it might be different in the UK.
