TitlePage is the Australian book industry's pricing and availability service – with over one and a half million titles currently listed.

It allows users to find stock, check pricing, and help source titles for customers and borrowers, and reduces the price and availability queries received by publishers and distributors.

Titlepage is provided free to bookshops and libraries, and currently has over 3,200 weekly users.

APA members are eligible to subscribe to TitlePage, giving publishers the opportunity to list and promote their titles through the service.

  • A single search repository of all titles available in Australia
  • Full publisher and distributor information
  • A user-friendly price and availability service
