1. This looks like a good site. Look under the browse section on the left. =)
2. What do you mean 'in bulk'? Are you going to be buying , for instance, 10 of one title? I don't think buying a lot of separate books would be considered buying 'in bulk'. You may want to ask families of the students to contribute a book each. Make a wish list and have them sign up to buy one book from it for your club. I really don't know of any book wholesalers. You could try and contact Amazon for info. Maybe they offer discounts and free shipping.
3. If you buy 20 of a title Barnes and Noble will give you a bulk discount of 20% and they can ship them to your school. If your school has a subscription to Publishers Weekly I think they release a supplement like that. The New York Times Bestseller lists are also good for that. Amazon also does a top list but closer to the end of the year i believe.
