We have recently changed our book-trade distribution arrangements; for the UK and other territories excluding USA, Canada and Mexico all trade order processing, customer service, warehousing and distribution functions are being handled by Marston Book Services Ltd.  The University of Chicago Press manages our trade sales orders in North America and Mexico.

These new partnerships and operational arrangements ensure that our publications are easily available and accessible to global audiences. They support Kew’s role in sharing its resources and knowledge with the science and education community.
