Rich, How about drop shipments directly from the publishing party, if they can handle that? That way no inventory would be required.
With OFBiz The ASF can take the ordersin (not only for books, but also promotion stuff like t-shirts, banners, buttons, etc), accept the payment (credit card, etc) and send the supply order to the party handling the drop shipments.
