Dear Sri Deep Chandra Lohani,

Thanks for your post. However, the question you have raised seems to be too touchy for any supplier. There is no clear cut norms (besides only a few publisher) about discount. It varies. But generally, for books, it ranges from 25% to 35% However, this too is flexible/negotiable. Same publisher offer different types of discounts for different types of books. As I understand some local publishers offer even 45% to even 55% (& sometimes, even more!) discount.

Standard publishers generally do not provide more than 35% discounts (except bulk copies of text books to schools!)

International Publishers offer higher discounts for some high priced reference books available in sets.The same publisher offer lower discounts for higher education books.

There are certain titles which are rather compelling necessities for some course of studies & in case a publisher has monopoly of such titles, they offer lesser discounts as business tricks. Even the cost of books vary according to countries (it depends upon the purchasing capacities; for instance purchasing capacity of people of Singapore is higher than those of India)

I hope I could explain your query.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. ray, Calcutta
