Basic Orders
For guild orders we offer a 10% discount off the supply/book total and include $8 flat rate shipping (USA only). The shipping discount is only valid for non-expedited shipping options. You can place the order on our website and in the Comments and Instructions field state "Guild Order" and we will apply the discount prior to charging your card.

JNB Try-n-Buy
This new JNB program is available to guilds in the USA. Your members get to try an array of tools, pens, inks, markers, and papers. They then have the chance to order those items at a 10% discount!

The details:

  • We send you a box chock-full of supplies. Included also are price sheets for the items, color charts for inks/paints, and order forms.
  • The guild then has a meeting and members try out whichever tools they wish. Most guilds have found success in having several stations: Coliro/Finetec (we send ALL the colors!), Ink, Markers, Fountain Pens, Ruling/Folded pens, etc. We include plenty of sheets of paper for testing.
  • Shipping costs: $20 to ship the tools and for their return. We recommend charging around $1 per attendee to cover the shipping cost.

To sign up or get more info about having a Try-n-Buy event, email eliza@johnnealbooks.com. We can only accommodate two guilds per month, so contact sooner for better availability.

After the Try-n-Buy event:
Please repackage all the items carefully. We include a return label for the box, so all you will need to do is drop it off at your local UPS office. In the box please include the order forms from your members. Once we receive the box we will put together the order and email the total amount due so that your guild can collect payment from members. Please do not include payment with the return. The group order then ships all at once, to one address. Shipping charge is actual UPS cost for orders under $500; orders over $500 receive free shipping. Most guilds distribute the items at the next meeting after the try-and-buy. Payments are due within 30 days via check or we can send a PayPal invoice.
