New Partnership Allows Outdoor Enthusiasts To Purchase Guidebooks & Maps Through Wildernet.com
ASPEN, CO - April 6, 2001 - Interactive Outdoors, owner of Wildernet.com and AlpenBooks, the largest distributor of outdoor books in North America, announced a new partnership that will enable Wildernet.com visitors to purchase guidebooks and pre-printed maps online when planning their outdoor activities.
Wildernet.com, an online outdoor recreation guide, is the most comprehensive website of its kind. In addition to its over 35,000 activity descriptions for hikes, fishing spots, campgrounds, bike routes, horseback rides and more, visitors will now be able to purchase guidebooks and maps. Guidebooks covering all of these activities will be available for purchase with worldwide delivery.
"Just about every outdoor enthusiast is interested in guidebooks and maps and we are excited to be able to provide an extensive selection of some of the best outdoor publishers," said Marshall Hall, president and co-founder of Wildernet.com. "Since guidebooks are not normally on the bestseller list, we are more likely to have them in stock than your typical online bookstore. Plus, they can be shipped within 24 hours."
"AlpenBooks is quite excited about this partnership," said Robert Koch, CEO, "because we stock outdoor books from thousands of foreign and small publishers, and these books cannot be found even on the Amazon and Barnes & Noble sites. Wildernet.com and its affiliation with Yahoo brings these books to a wider audience of outdoor recreationists."
AlpenBooks, located in Mukilteo, WA, is North America's leading supplier of outdoor books. For more information, contact Robert Koch at 800-290-9898, or visit AlpenBooks.com.
Wildernet.com is produced and owned by Interactive Outdoors, Inc. a privately-held Web publishing company based in Aspen, Colorado. Interactive Outdoors, Inc. also owns Peakware.com, the Web's most comprehensive guide to mountains and mountaineering. For more information, contact Clara Coleman at 970-920-7097, or visit Wildernet.com.
