Our Books on Time service has proved very popular, and in the academic year 2011/12 we bought over 800 books in response to reader demand. Here is a list of titles bought so far this academic year.

Please note, in certain circumstances (for example, if the books you request are very expensive or difficult to obtain) we may get back in touch with you to discuss alternative options.
