Here’s what it was about:

We know how challenging it can be to get back into university life and establish a good routine after the semester break. For many, the winter semester is also their very first semester and comes with a lot of excitement. We wanted to give you a little kick-start, so we thought about ways to support you as you begin the semester. The result was three free goodies and two giveaways to help you at the start of your studies or later on in your academic journey.

Our highlights from the Back to University Weeks:

Our working students wanted to give you a refresher after the semester break and created a checklist with the most important to-dos for the start of the semester. With their help, no essential point was forgotten, and you avoided any unpleasant surprises.

We raffled off 10 e-books from GRIN, each worth upt to 15.99€. The winners could choose which e-book they wanted.

We raffled off 5 of our coveted surprise boxes. What was inside? That remains a secret to this day. All we can say is this: they contained items to make the start of the semester easier.

Softcover oder Hardcover

Du hast die Wahl: Entscheide dich für einen klassischen Softcover- oder für einen hochwertigen Hardcover-Einband. Wir haben dir die Vor- und Nachteile zusammengestellt:

 

Softcover

Hardcover

Herstellungs­kosten

günstiger als Hardcover, attraktiverer Verkaufspreis möglich

höhere Produktionskosten, dadurch höherer Verkaufspreis

Format

leichter, passt besser in deine Tasche, angenehmer für unterwegs

schwerer und unhandlicher, dadurch weniger geeignet für Reisen und fürs „nebenbei lesen“

Wertigkeit

hochwertiger Eindruck, bessere Geschenk- und Sammler-Tauglichkeit; wirkt prestigeträchtiger

Stabilität

Ecken knicken schneller und der Buchrücken kann eher brechen

stabiler Einband, bessere Formstabilität und Schutz der Seiten

Layout check

We check your text for readability and printability (Are the margins sufficient for printing? Is the font size easy to read in print? Is the line spacing right? Is the resolution of the illustrations sufficient for good print quality?), embed the fonts if necessary and take care of automatic page numbers and a table of contents.

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book.

Worldwide distribution

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book. We deliver your book to our worldwide distribution network: over 300 online shops.

Cover Service

You don’t have a cover idea yet or would like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem.
