About LAD
LAD Custom Publishing has served the higher ed market for more than 20 years and partners with over 900 colleges and universities in the US and Canada.
Making education more relevant, engaging, and affordable is our top priority.
Our team continually provides the highest level of customer service in the industry by helping bookstores and faculty deliver low-cost, customized print and digital course materials to their students.
LAD is the leading coursepack company in the US with the most experienced team in the industry. In addition to coursepacks, we deliver out-of-print books, science lab notebooks, OER content (including OpenStax and Lumen Learning), faculty-authored custom books, and more!
Royalties are paid to faculty or departments, for original works, twice a year. We offer 100% returns on LAD-printed materials.
Fully integrated with VitalSource, RedShelf and other leading Edtech companies, LAD works to streamline the processes for your IA or EA courses to make digital course materials delivery as simple as possible. We can also deliver your course materials through our eLAD Portal via our interactive PDF reader.
LAD is currently developing innovative AI solutions to help faculty and bookstores create, deliver and educate students. Our AI technologies and our content databases will help with course material development and simplify the ordering process.
As your custom course materials partner, LAD is ready to help provide your students what they need, when they need it, in the format you want.

Company History
Lance Liggin and Dave Binnix, although of different generations, complement each other by their innovative perspective on the industry. The simplicity by which they deliver content digitally or in print is unique and refreshing. Lance and Dave pioneered new innovations such as copyright compliance, indemnification, and guarantees for university bookstores.
David Binnix has served the university market since 1966 when he helped establish the “Forms Management” concept for the educational industry. In 1993 Dave founded Campus Custom Publishing (CCP) which became the premier supplier to the college bookstore market.
Lance Liggin joined CCP in 1995 where Lance was instrumental in moving CCP to becoming the largest provider of custom course packets in the United States. He also served as National Vice President of Sales for XanEdu before starting LAD with David Binnix.
Today Lance and Dave are offering new services such as innovative AI solutions, digital delivery via our interactive PDF Reader, color injection, a guaranteed delivery program and marketing partnerships all under the umbrella of LAD.
LAD, named after founders Lance and Dave, is partnered with over 900 colleges and universities in the US and Canada.
