Mrs. Nelson’s: A Family of Companies

Mrs. Nelson’s family of businesses combines personalized book fairs, book ordering and bindery services to provide fundraising opportunities, extend the life of books, and promote the love of reading and learning.

We are a second-generation, family-run company that started in 1986 as a children’s bookstore that has grown to include a book fair company, a wholesale book sales division, and a book bindery. Today, we are providing resources for academic success to more schools, libraries, and government institutions than we ever imagined. We couldn’t do it without you.
