Core Approval Publishers, United Kingdom

The list represents, in our experience, those publishers currently producing the main body of titles of academic interest in the UK, Ireland and a few selected European countries. We have included a number of distributors of small presses on this list. The output of these presses will be covered selectively based on suitability of titles.

We will select and supply, either as book or form, titles of academic interest from all publishers on the list with the following broad exceptions: children’s books, do-it-yourself manuals, leisure interests, learning materials, non-book materials, periodicals and books that are low-level/popular and not appropriate for academic library approval plans. A designation of “forms only” indicates that, due to non-returnability, a publisher is covered as forms only. A number of publishers are followed by the statement, “selective coverage” which indicates that some of their output is not suitable for academic collections.

The list of publishers will be revised semi-annually to include new publishers and to reflect changes in publisher organisation, ownership and development. If you have any comments on this list or suggestions for revision, please contact your Regional Sales Manager or email BBSUK.NewTitles@Blackwell.co.uk.

We have also made available for you the latest information on what we have changed, added, or deleted from our publisher list.
