Why Book Nook?

A Book Company with a Vending Concept

What if a book company created a book vending machine from the perspective of the student’s and educator’s needs first?  We are an educational sales company first, and our passion is serving those who educate. The Book Nook is designed to address the specific needs and standards of the school clientele. We believe the most important mission is to deliver current, engaging content to students to promote a lifelong love of reading.  The Book Nook is not simply a redesign of another vending model, it’s a complete program of providing great reading material delivered in a unique, fun, engaging way.

AdjustaTray

Our vending trays are the most user friendly and easy to adjust.  They can be adjusted in both height and shelf width with only the use of a Phillips head screwdriver.  There is no need to spend extra on tray size customization.  You can also change the number of shelves to accommodate large format picture books for example.  Width can be adjusted to accommodate any book size.  We guarantee all the books we sell will fit and vend without issue or you can return them.

Book Selection Options

At Superior Text, you have complete flexibility with one call and one purchase order! Choose from our current options and pre-bundled selections (see example below) or work with our on-staff librarian to create your own custom plan that works for your specific school, district or program needs! You can order titles from different publishers and grade levels and our new titles are always offered at significant savings of up to 40% off publisher list prices.

Truly, not all books are alike, and not all books will vend.  Work with our knowledgeable staff to curate a book list that never fails to vend or fit. Our book fill packages are designed to meet all reading levels and appeal to even the most reluctant reader.  Fills include all book genres (fiction and nonfiction, manga, graphic novel, etc.) and binding types.  Book packages can include multiple languages.  Clients are encouraged to provide authors-series or even specific titles, so the package is most appealing and representative of your student needs.
