Closed in early 2026. Baker & Taylor was a major U.S. library wholesaler, and its distribution business shut down that winter. Older publishing advice may still name it; ask a library which supplier it uses now.

Why it matters to you

If you meet the name in a checklist, a template, or an older how-to, treat it as history. It is not a route into libraries any more. Ask the library which wholesaler it uses now. Common current routes include Ingram, Brodart, and Bookazine, but the library's own answer controls.
