Unfortunately, no April Fools Day regarding this, either. The below announcement was added to the PBD website today: "Welcome to Partners Book Distributing, Inc. After over 30 years of business, Partners Book Distributing and Partners/West will be closing their doors. As much as we love what we do, the numbers are no longer working. Shipping of orders will end as of the close of business on April 1, 2016. We would like to thank all of the customers we have had over the years for keeping us going this long."
