Compendium is a professionally compiled collection of the most recent, highly reviewed K-12 titles -- created exclusively for Mackin customers and provided free of charge. All selections have been culled from the nation's acclaimed review sources listed below. Rather than you reading thousands of reviews, our expert librarians do it for you.
Inside every issue you'll find titles for elementary, middle school, high school, nonprint, professional and reference. All titles have a full-color book image, in-depth summary, review sources, author and publisher, ISBN, available bindings, subject heading and more. You can also find these titles on Mackin.com by exploring the Compendium lists. All Compendium selections, past and present, have a flower icon (
) next to them in your search results to help you easily identify them.
Published twice a year (spring and fall), Compendium is mailed to customers and distributed at trade shows throughout the year. If you would like the most recent issue mailed to you, please email compendium@mackin.com.
