PROFILE |
 |
Not all kids like to read, but (fortunately for Follett) by the time they reach college, they don't have a choice. Follett is the #1 operator of US college bookstores and has more than 625 campus bookstores throughout the US and Canada. Its campus stores sell other items, including clothing and school supplies. The company's business groups, which operate in about 60 countries, also provide books and audiovisual materials to grade school and public libraries, library automation and management software, textbook reconditioning, and other services. Its efollett.com Web site sells new and used college textbooks (its database has about 16 million titles). The Follett family has owned the company for four generations.
