Bloomsbury Publishing
Shareholder discount on print books
What you get
Shareholders get 35% off the recommended retail price of Bloomsbury print books.
What it takes
You need at least one share.
A perk is a minor benefit of owning a share, not a reason to buy one. Share prices fall as well as rise, and dealing costs, spreads and tax can exceed a perk’s value. This page is not investment advice. Read about the risks.
Holding through a broker
Shares held in your own name or through a nominee qualify.
The issuer does not give separate rules for ISA and SIPP holdings.
The issuer does not separately address overseas shareholders.

Practical notes
What the discount saves
At an RRP of £20, the discounted price would be £13 before delivery.
Compare the delivered total with other offers: a discount from RRP does not guarantee the lowest price.
If your code does not work
Report the problem in the existing-code field on the shareholder form. Leave it blank when requesting a new code. Bloomsbury does not state how long a reply takes.
History of the perk
Bloomsbury’s shareholder discount dates back to at least 2013. Orders were once handled by staff.
-
Discount codes for online checkout
By April, shareholders requested a code to use at checkout. The offer explicitly included nominee holdings, and the form accepted either an investor code or nominee details.
-
Payment by card or cheque
The form still asked for book titles, a delivery address and an investor code. Bloomsbury contacted shareholders to arrange payment by card or cheque.
-
Books ordered through the shareholder form
One share qualified for 35% off print books. Shareholders listed the books they wanted, their delivery address and payment method. The form also accepted nominee details.
