A Service Supporting Public Education
Authors, and Publishing,
across the U.S.
booksXYZ is both an Internet service providing a single platform for listing any and all books, and a vehicle for generating funds for public education.
booksXYZ is an "open platform" for listing books, comprising two novel approaches to Internet bookselling and e-business. First, booklisters may sell titles directly through booksXYZ in a manner similar to the eBay+PayPal model. Alternatively, booklisters may list their titles through booksXYZ to be sold elsewhere, free of charge. These two options will assist booksXYZ in eventually becoming the single source for locating any book, anywhere.
If booklisters choose to sell their titles through the website, booksXYZ handles all credit card transactions, generates bills and invoices, tracks shipments, maintains relations between booklisters and readers, and provides accounting records and other business and financial support; booklisters are only responsible for packaging & shipping their books. Five days after delivery, booklisters are reimbursed 85% of purchase price, and all of the shipping charges.
Currently, booksXYZ lists over 1.4 million titles, and will expand that number constantly, as it upgrades the content and functionality of its website.
All profits from booksXYZ benefit public schools nationwide, and 5% of each sale goes to the school or college of the customer's choice. The majority of profits from each sale return to the public schools in the purchaser's local area. All funds for public education will be distributed and overseen by The Acadiana Educational Endowment (AEE) and its affiliate, The American Public School Endowments, (APSE), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
