January 30, 2001

booktech.com, a first mover in digital and on-demand publishing for education and training, announced today that the Company has secured a series of service agreements with 14 college bookstores throughout the Mid- and South-Atlantic states, focusing on North Carolina and Virginia.

The service agreements establish booktech.com as the vendor of customized textbooks and other materials for the campus bookstores of Duke University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Lynchburg College, North Carolina Central University, Christopher Newport University, and Peace College, among others.

“We are happy to partner with such excellent bookstores, and to expand our marketing capacities throughout the Atlantic states”, explained booktech.com CEO Morris Shepard. “Campus bookstores are ideal partners because they are already serving the professors who may opt to tailor their own customized teaching tools though our Company. At the same time, bookstores are able to offer their customers the flexibility of customized course materials, which enables educators to present their students with up-to-the-minute resources.”
