Real history for students — 30% off.

Primary-source scholarship shouldn't live behind a paywall. If you're enrolled anywhere in the world — history, politics, law, languages — we'll take thirty percent off your order.

Why

Students read the sources. We back that.

Every year we send thousands of books out at a discount to undergraduates, masters candidates and PhDs across the world. Some go on to write for us. All of them read better than most — and deserve to be rewarded for it.

Open to any field

History students are the obvious case. But if you're studying political science, law, international relations, German literature or anything adjacent — you qualify.

30% off select titles

The student range covers most current hardbacks, paperbacks and digital editions — plus our 'slightly imperfect' overstock at deeper discounts.

Reusable code

Once approved, your code works for the rest of your enrolment — every term, every order, every format. One and done.

How it works

Three steps. Usually under a day.

No online form, no third-party verifier, no data profile built on your studies. A human reads your email and sends you a code.

  1. 01

    Email your ID

    Send a clear photo of your valid student ID, plus your name, institution, and expected graduation year.

  2. 02

    We verify

    An editor reviews during UK working hours — usually same day, always within 48 hours. Private, not stored beyond verification.

  3. 03

    Get your code

    You receive a personal discount code by email, with the list of eligible titles and usage notes.

  4. 04

    Shop & save

    Apply the code at checkout on any eligible title, as many orders as you like, for the length of your enrolment.
