Frequently Asked Questions

Do we know what we’re doing?

Yes; we’ve been doing this for over 25 years and we are a Ministry of Justice Approved Book RetailerWhat Does Approved Book Retailer (ABR) Mean?
An ABR is a publisher/book retailer who has been approved by the Ministry of Justice as satisfying their criteria in terms of security and chain of custody - ensuring that from printer, through publisher/retailer, to prison there is no opportunity for their books to be tampered with - we guarantee that when the book arrives at the prison it has come directly from our securely held stock.
This means that our books are issued much faster (especially if the prisoner has applied to have 'the book in possession on arrival' which is what we always recommend to ensure acceptance) as they are not subject to all the normal security measures that apply to books sent in by family and friends direct.

Verify

Will the prison accept the book?

Yes – but we recommend that the prisoner always makes a prior application “to have the book in possession on arrival” in order to reduce delays. As a Ministry of Justice Approved Book Retailer we have different secure methods for sending books into prisons so establishments know they have come from us – for obvious security reasons we cannot disclose what these methods are but they ensure our books are issued with the minimum of fuss.
