We had the exact same problem with Glencoe/McGraw-Hill a couple of years
ago. We wanted to purchase the Smith-Minton Calculus text and they told
us they could not sell to us since we were international, even if the
books were shipped to a US address. Other companies directed us to
whomever had the international distribution rights, but Glencoe just
said no. Strange industry ("Here, take our money. We like your product
and we want to buy it." "No.").
Here in Kenya, Pearson operates under the name Longman. The Pearson
Southern Africa site (www.longmanafrica.co.za) has a link to
http://www.pearsonschoolsandfecolleges.co.uk/International/Africa/Cameroon/Cameroon.aspx
Hope this helps.
If anybody knows of a way for an international school to purchase
Glencoe/McGraw-Hill texts, please let me know.
