Paperight is super proud to announce a new distribution partnership with Oxford University Press Southern Africa. Starting today as a pilot project, over 30 of OUPSA’s excellent study guides will be available to print at any Paperight outlet.

As one of the country’s most respected educational and scholarly publishers, OUPSA is committed to supplying South African learners and teachers with high-quality, curriculum-compliant support from primary to tertiary level. By becoming the latest publisher to sign up with Paperight’s distributed print-on-demand system, OUPSA ensure that learners throughout South Africa will have improved access to their excellent support – more specifically, their excellent and comprehensive study guides for Grades 10 through to matric.

A total of fifteen subjects are catered for in the Exam Success series, along with specialised guides to the most regularly-prescribed English drama, poetry and short fiction. Exam Success guides also emphasise a holistic approach to studying, offering mock exam questions, practical studying suggestions and timetables to learners, helping them to maximise the amount of knowledge and insight they gain from the time they spend in front of their books.

The agreement also fortifies Paperight’s ever-expanding library of educational and scholarly texts, available through any of the 100-plus outlets that have signed up with Paperight to date, overcoming continuing deficiencies in book distribution in South Africa, and helping children to acquire the support they need to achieve maximum success at school and beyond.

Arthur Attwell, Paperight’s founder and CEO, said: “Having worked for many years in educational publishing, I know that every person in this industry wants to make books easily available to every South African. It’s great to be working with OUPSA to tackle this challenge in new ways. This collaboration is also especially meaningful for me, primarily because I started my own publishing career with OUPSA fourteen years ago.”

Great resources need not be locked up in expensive bookstores in big cities. Now OUPSA Exam Success guides are available anywhere, and you can find a full list of them here.

Let’s Talk About Varsity (and its Afrikaans companion Uniwrsityt: Wat Jy Wil Weet) is a life orientation book written by some of South Africa’s very best educators – such as author and University of the Free State VC Jonathan Jansen and famous sports scientist Tim Noakes – that aims to prepare teenagers and young adults for the sometimes-overwhelming task of starting tertiary education, giving information about various institutions, qualifications and  in South Africa. More than just a guide to universities, however, Let’s Talk About Varsity also helps prospective students learn more about the various careers and academic fields they can enter – suited not only to their abilities, but also to their emotions and aspirations – helping them get the best possible information to make the right choice for their future happiness.

It’s also incredibly pretty and well-written – that’s a bonus.

Outlet advertising with the Paperight poster

Paperight best-value books, poster 0112Our outlets need a simple way to tell their customers that they can print Paperight books, and what books are available. So we’ve made a poster for the shop window. (Click the thumbnail to enlarge, or download the 1.2MB PDF)

Right now, we have about a thousand books on the site. So we chose about 50 that we think show off some of our best stuff so far. We’ve included a lot of high-school and undergrad setworks, some classic self-help, and the thing that gets us most of our Internet traffic: past papers for South Africa’s grade 12 exams. There’s also sheet music, resources for teachers and nurses, classic children’s books, sci-fi and fantasy novels, and seminal philosophy and psychology.

Any outlet that registers or asks for one will get a copy of the poster. It’s A2, and printed on lovely thick recycled paper.

On the back is a big, catchy cover and headline. Put it in a shop window and the catchy side attracts customers while the inside shows our fav-fifty books. Each featured book has a 3-digit shortcode for finding it quickly on paperight.com – just enter the shortcode in the search bar.

Also, any outlet that registers in Feb (and most of March we reckon, while budget lasts) will get $50 credited to their account, which will cover the rights fees for about 30 books. Just register and choose ‘Account’ as your payment method when ordering.
