You have published your text with us and now want to hold your book in your hands? No problem! As a GRIN author, you can order your own titles from us at a reduced price as so-called author copies (or your own copies) as soon as they have been published in the print version (we will inform you about this by e-mail). The amount of the discount depends on the order quantity: the more books you add to the shopping cart, the higher the discount.
How does it work?
In your account you will find the item “Order my books” under “My texts” on the left.
Here you will see an overview of all titles that can be ordered . If you have published titles with us that have only been published as e-books, they will not appear here.
