"Creating Information Possibilities"

Subject: [SERIALST] Prebound Periodicals

Dear Serial Friends,

1. Does anyone know what happened to Prebound Periodicals?

Our library worked with them for decades with no problems whatsoever; but recently, we are having trouble even contacting them. Our library paid a subscription to Prebound Periodicals (quarterlies) on 11/01/09 for 3 titles covering 2010:

Sports Illustrated

Time

U.S. News & World Report

(They cashed the check 5 days later.)

The problem is that we have not received the bound journals. For months now, we’ve tried claiming the last quarter 2009 of Sports Illustrated (Oct-Dec 2009) plus now we are trying to claim the first quarter of Sports Illustrated, Time, & U.S. News World Report.

Our contact person and information was:

Betty Denny

Prebound Periodicals LLC

631 SW Jewell Ave.

Topeka, KS 66606

866-991-9440

Fax 785-215-8761

bdenny@preboundperiodicals.kscoxmail.com

After having spent many months and hours and a lot of staff time trying to contact Prebound Periodicals (using every phone number, fax number, email address, and other lead that came our way), we are at a loss. Prebound Periodicals seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth (with our check).  Does anyone know what happened to them? Has anyone had contact with them over the past 9 months?

2. If it turns out that the company has gone out-of-business, do you have other suggestions for alternative companies (and contact info) that we could use in their place for such titles as these that we wish to receive prebound?

I would sincerely appreciate your help with this!

Best wishes,

Julie Moore
