Bookshop orders online and via the hotline

Kristian Berggreen
Bookshop manager

The University bookshop has found that new and improved distribution arrangements and online links with major publishers and distributors have paid big dividends in sales and customer loyalty.

The ideal situation is still to be able to have the right textbooks in stock at the right time but, failing that, the bookshop is able to order books faster than ever before. Most academic publishers operate a 'hotline' service whereby they are able to supply the bookshop within 24 or 48 hours.

In addition to this, the bookshop has access to online ordering facilities from the three major UK wholesalers, which means that any one of several hundred thousand titles can be delivered the next day if ordered before 5.00pm.

If you come across any textbook offers online, let the bookshop know and we will try to match them, taking the postage into account.
