We think that our textbooks have a critical edge over other books currently on the market, and will encourage students to think and question for themselves. But don’t take our word for it! All of our textbooks are available on inspection, giving you 28 days to see if they are right for your students. These are flagged on the title pages throughout the site and can be ordered by filling in our inspection copy form.
When you have chosen your course texts remember to tell your students to use them in your lectures. And don’t forget to also let your local bookshop and library know about the books on your reading list. That way they can ensure the resources are available for students to buy or borrow at the right time.
If you get in touch and let us have a copy of the reading list we can also offer your students a website discount on the relevant texts.
To keep up to date with all our latest books in your discipline and to ensure you have time to assess them for your courses, why not join our mailing list? We’re normally running a special discount or promotion for subscribers so it’s definitely worth signing up.
We would welcome your feedback or comments on any aspect of our work, including ideas for any other information you’d like to see here – please email tpp-info@bristol.ac.uk.
