Sandstone Press goes digital!

Posted by RLD on 10th August 2010

Sandstone Press is delighted to present their new range of ebooks available now at http://www.sandstonepress.com . The ebooks are in epub and retail from the web site at a 30% reduction from the paperback RRP. The ebooks have been developed for Sandstone by McMillan Publishing Solutions and payment is made through PayPal, directly accessible through the web site. The system takes both credit and debit cards and will be easily used by most buyers.

Sandstone Press Managing Director Robert Davidson says, ‘This is a significant new product to put before the book buying public. We are beginning with twelve titles taken from across the range of Sandstone books, both fiction and non-fiction and are particularly proud to be publishing what we believe are the first fiction ebooks in Gaelic.

These means will make them instantly available to readers of Gaelic throughout the world and this should be of especial interest to advanced learners as well as accomplished or native readers.

Difficult the times may be economically, but they are also exciting and we are proud to put this product beside our new range of general fiction and our already established range of narrative non-fiction. The intention is that they will develop together.

I am happy to record my thanks to Samiksha Bhattacharya and Audrey Alexander of MPS for helping us to bring this part of the Sandstone Project to fruition, and the authors for their patience and cooperation.’
