The Association of Logos Bookstores
is a member-owned, not-for-profit trade association.

Testimonials
We value the voices of our community. Here’s what our stores have to say about their experiences with the Association of Logos Bookstores.
"The Logos Annual Conference offers an enriching experience for all attendees. We engage with authors who share insights about their literary journeys and discuss their personal stories. Representatives from publishers showcase their most anticipated new releases for the upcoming season. This is a time for mutual learning and support. Each participant brings unique gifts, contributing to various aspects of our business and ministry, reflecting God's love in their communities. We warmly invite you to be part of this journey."

"Being a member of the Logos Association family these past 38 years has extended my “shelf life” and given me deep purpose in this day-to-day ministry of sharing good news."

"The Logos Association has been helpful to us in that they support us with catalogs that are professionally
put together with products from vendors we use and items that are specially priced to help our customers.
We can carry what we need and order specials based on our customer needs, not having to carry everything
in the catalog. The Logos Association used buying power to help us start our store 16 years ago. That allowed us the start we needed to get product that was current and relevant to our store."

"Logos has offered opportunities for Lifeline Christian Books to which we had no other access. What are they?
- Full-color catalogs and flyers with our store name feature new releases at discounted prices from a variety of suppliers. We are different from other buying groups, having no obligation to purchase a minimum number of units per title. Vendors offer us discounts that help offset the special sale prices.
- The support of other stores, in sharing product knowledge and industry know-how. No store owner/manager knows everything about all aspects of the Christian retail industry. Every time we gather, I learn nuggets of skill in the nuances of buying and in running the store. The industry keeps changing, and input from others is a huge help.
- While there is much to be said for the speed and economics of meeting and buying electronically, there is still so much more to be gained from meeting in person. Whether it’s listening to a presentation and hearing questions that you didn’t think to ask or the follow-up conversation at lunch that illuminates the topic further, together is best.
- Perhaps, most important is the encouragement and coaching we receive. This is personal and not cookie-cutter. And it’s not on-line, as in check the right box for store size and sales, in the right section of the country. This is personal to our store, with our talents and “warts” and in our community. This has helped us try ideas we would have missed."

"Every owner needs to know they are part of a family that cares. Logos is always there for us."

"It’s a Family. It is a community of stores that helps each other, encourages each other and reminds us, as managers, that we are NOT alone in this endeavor that God has placed before us — our customers LOVE the catalogs that come out AND the yearly calendar with savings coupons at the bottom of each month — AND Leadership is Christ-Centered and always encouraging, praying, guiding and supporting wherever needed.
Praise God for the Logos Bookstore Family."
