In the Dutch book trade, publishers and booksellers work according to the Central Depot agreement, see last page of this price list. This is how we implement the Fixed Book Price Act (wet op de vaste boekenprijs). Minimum trading margins have been set per sort of book. These are the minimum discounts you give to booksellers on their purchases of your titles. Educational books with booksort S are typically use in primary, secondary, indermediate and higher vocational (MBO and HBO) education, this sort of books is not covered by the Central Depot and are therefore not subject to a minimum discount.
