Recorded Books subscription collections also include more than 1,200 new MP3 titles that play on iPod, iPhone and many other portable devices.
Convenient Prepackaged Collections
With four collections to choose from, you'll find something for every library and every library budget. Available collections include:
High-quality audio
With Recorded Books’ eAudiobooks, you receive exceptional unabridged recordings. Every element of the production process is checked and rechecked for quality in digital sound studios, fully staffed with technicians, researchers and producers. You also will hear the best performances by talented professional actors with years of stage and screen experience. These performances are recorded in Recorded Books’ state-of-the-art studios and have earned prizes including Audiofile magazine "Earphone" awards for excellence and Audie Awards from the Audio Publishers Association.
How to Order
With pricing based on FTEs or annual circulation, you pay once for an annual subscription to these always-available eAudiobooks. If your library has an annual subscription to the Premium Core Collection, you'll also be able to purchase individual Recorded Books titles. Contact your OCLC or Recorded Books Sales Representative for detailed pricing or collection information.
