Shaw Books makes its mark
Moving even further back – into early summer – we witnessed the arrival of Shaw Books: an eBook-only site, aggregating titles across a growing range of grade A publishers, including Bloomsbury, Kogan Page, Pan Macmillan, and Taylor & Francis, amongst others. The Shaw Books team are expanding the publisher list – and consequently growing the breadth of available stock – and recent agreements with Vearsa and others should see this pick up fairly rapidly.
The site provides both the opportunity to buy an eBook direct, or pick up a title on voucher redemption, having purchased the title elsewhere. It is currently aimed at eighteen core markets, and provides users with the opportunity to buy the title in several different currencies of choice.
