Textbooks
School Textbook Supply
How do you choose which textbooks are right for your course?
Where do you get reliable, unbiased advice on book purchasing?
Where do you go to compare titles from competing publishers?
At Heath Educational Books we believe it's not just about discount (although we know that matters) — It's about dealing with a supplier who knows what you want to know.
We are here, not just to supply your orders, but to help you make the right choices — saving you time and money on your budget.
We have the unique advantage of a superb Teacher's Showroom on our premises where the full range of books and teacher's materials is available to view, giving us unrivalled knowledge of the many titles on the market. We believe there is no collection like this in the UK.
One supplier for all your needs
Rather than placing numerous orders with many different publishers, we provide you with the option to order all your books from us. This enables you to minimise your paperwork and should ensure you get a better deal by ordering from just one source.
Discount
We can offer negotiated discounts for the whole school or we can vary discounts depending on the size of the order and the publishers involved. Our discounts vary from 10-20% depending on your orders — with almost every title at a discount — very often cheaper than buying direct from the publishers or from other school suppliers. However the differences in price are often slight between suppliers and the fact we offer free delivery may make a difference. Most importantly, however, we believe it is the quality of our service which in the end makes us unsurpassable!
Advice
Unbiased advice and information is always available. We can help with up-to-date prices and availability and give ordering advice if you are not able to visit our Showroom yourself. We have access to various publishers' databases, catalogues and extensive book knowledge to provide you with the best possible service. We can trace most titles and will always ensure the latest editions are supplied – unless you want the old edition!!
Our Showroom is unique in that we have both textbooks and library books on show. Importantly, we stock titles from all publishers large and small — giving you the chance to view material not easily seen elsewhere.
Student Purchases
We are happy to supply schools with books to be sold on to students — either pass on the discount we give or use your discount to add to the school budget. This enables you to make sure that all students start with the correct books at the same time.
Jackets
Full servicing is available for books purchased — why not have plastic jackets fitted to your books to make them last longer?
Delivery
We provide an efficient and rapid delivery with most orders being delivered within 7- 10 days (availability permitting). We provide a September Express service in the autumn when urgent textbook titles are delivered to you within a few days of ordering. Many very urgent items can be with you in just a few days all year round. Library orders and servicing may take a little longer but supplies should be consistently quick.
