Many textbooks are now available electronically, and where appropriate we are purchasing these either in addition to or instead of our printed books. Unlike fiction books you might buy at home, you are usually unable to download the entire book but can instead either download parts of it, or browse through the entire book online.

If there are particular books that you would like to to buy in electronic format then let us know using the Book Request form, below.

If we don't have the book you need in stock, you can ask us to purchase it. Whenever possible we will always try to provide books in the format you request (electronic or print).
