The Fine Print

- Ingram reserves the right to move any title not deemed appropriate for the selected catalog. Children’s titles selected to be annotated in Advance will be moved to the next Children’s Advance catalog. Christian titles are vetted prior to acceptance. If your title isn’t deemed appropriate for the Christian catalog, it will be moved to the next Trade Advance catalog.
