What we do for acquisitions
Four services, one vendor record.
02
Exclusive foreign distribution
For eighteen publishers across six jurisdictions we are the North American distributor. You order domestically; we handle the import, the currency and the freight.
03
Back files & out-of-print
We keep back volumes and hunt out-of-print runs. Send a want list and we will tell you honestly what can be found and what cannot.
04
Reprints to library specification
Our own reprint programme returns legal classics to print on acid-free paper, in library bindings, made to order.
Eighty years of a very narrow specialty.
Gaunt has done one thing since 1946: bring the law of the English-speaking world outside the United States to American libraries. Not a general vendor with a foreign department — a foreign law bookseller that happens to be in Florida.
Read our historyOne vendor record
Your acquisitions system carries a single domestic supplier instead of a dozen foreign ones.
We know the gaps
Eighty years of handling these titles means we know which series changed name, which skipped a year, and which never existed.
