Why should you promote our books?

• Selling high-quality, large-ticket items has an obvious commercial reward
• Our library customers are both loyal and regular
• Our multi-volume major works have an extremely long sales life. Every year we still sell several sets of our first title The Works of Thomas Malthus, published in 1986. Promoting our whole list can often be rewarded by a very large order for front and backlist.
• The majority of our monographs are published in well defined active series which will give you regular turnover through standing orders
• If you supply to libraries with good humanities and social science collections you will get easy sales
• We are committed to excellent marketing. We promote ourselves through direct mail to academics and librarians worldwide, through often brilliant review coverage and through the best international conferences. Your customers will know about us.
• Our books are beautifully produced to exacting production standards
