Vanderbilt University Press is pleased to announce that our books are now available from
Longleaf Services, Inc., effective June 1, 2018.
“We’re delighted to have chosen Longleaf, because their staff has been extraordinarily attentive in
answering our questions and in finding ways of easing the transition from our systems to theirs,”
said Michael Ames, director of Vanderbilt University Press. “As a small press, we appreciate
the easy access and also anticipate that Longleaf will be a good advocate for us with the larger
publishing entities.”
Robbie Dircks, president of Longleaf Services, added, “We’re pleased to welcome Vanderbilt
University Press to the growing list of Longleaf client publishers. Our mission of providing
fulfillment and publishing solutions is important to smaller presses with limited staff like
Vanderbilt University Press as it allows their staff to focus on their core mission of content
acquisition and dissemination.”
Vanderbilt University Press and Longleaf Services, Inc. strive to make this transition as easy as
possible for our customers.
Authors and individuals who are accustomed to buying books directly from the warehouse
should notice no difference greater than a change in phone number (800-848-6224).

will be required to provide Longleaf Services with a copy of their tax-exempt letter.
