At a time when most publishers are trying to anticipate the benefits of turning their backlists into e-books, two publishers have joined forces to buck the trend.
Humanities Ebooks LLP has enlisted the services of print publisher Troubador to do exactly the reverse. Through Troubador, the e-publishing company plans to make its backlist of academic titles available in print.
Whilst the ebooks are still available to buy and download from the Humanities Ebooks site (www.humanities-ebooks.co.uk) print versions of some of the titles are now available to buy, under the Humanities imprint, direct from Troubador, with many more titles to follow.
Troubador will eventually convert HEB's backlist of over 50 titles.
Managing Director of HEB, Dr Richard Gravil said:
"We've teamed up with Troubador because we want to provide our customers with maximum choice. The books produced by Troubador will complement what we already offer and allow us to reach a larger readership."
Jeremy Thompson, Managing Director of Troubador Publishing, said: "This collaboration has allowed both companies to maintain their focus on their respective areas of expertise whilst, at the same time, allowing us both to branch out into an exciting new area. I look forward to seeing how the relationship develops."
The Humanities Ebooks titles are available to buy in print from Troubador's website at www.troubador.co.uk/shop.asp
