About the bookshop

Types of resources

Our digital bookshop has four types of resources:

  • Print-format books: these are delivered, after the order, at a maximum time of 48 hours. See the shipping conditions.
  • Digital books free of charge: they are resources that can be read and downloaded with no need to register with the bookshop, because they are open access.
  • Digital books to rent: they are resources that can be rented by making a purchase at the bookshop and, once purchased, are accessible during a maximum period of 15 days. These resources can be read online or downloaded.
  • Digital books on sale: they are resources that are bought at the bookshop and they will always be accessible for reading online or downloading by the user.
