Academic Overview
Footprint represents many internationally renowned publishers who specifically produce titles for the academic text book market, as well as having many titles that have been adopted widely as text books despite being of a more specialist nature. Our text book team is available to suggest appropriate text titles for academic courses and provide you with inspection copies of these titles for consideration on their suitability.
