Scottish Academic Press
The Scottish Academic Press (SAP) is one of Scotland 's oldest publishing companies. For many decades SAP promoted books and literature via the traditional method of the printed page.For short run and academic publishing such traditional publishing without substantial underwriting is no longer economic. Thus SAP has taken the decision to publish books primarily in an electronic format – downloadable books off our website in PDF format.
Our website is hosted on the www.martinfrost.ws website and our handling agent is Martin Frost Web Designs. SAP has implemented this policy upon cost and marketing grounds.
| Martin Frost Web Designs Office Address: 72 Howdenburn Court , Jedburgh, Scotland, TD8 6PX E-mail address mfwd@martinfrost.ws Please correspond through our e-mail address. |
Currently the martinfrost.ws website receives hundred of thousands of hits per month from academic or professional readers – SAP plans to benefit from these readers – while simultaneously recognising that SAP's prime function is to disseminate reliable copy at affordable prices – namely £2 pounds sterling or $4 US dollars per download (though due to finance transmission costs a minimum of five downloads is requested, though not at one time).
Please note since SAP deals with people of good character the PDF files will be available for you to download and we will trust you to forward your remittance thereafter to Martin Frost Web Designs Limited as per the enclosed details. Furthermore, you aught to appreciate that 50% of the PDF charge is forwarded to the author and/or copyright owner of this intellectual property so please make prompt payment.
Your initial time-limited password to open the PDF files is martinfrostweb06 - Additional instructions will be sent on receipt of your payment
It is our intention over the forthcoming years to make available not only our vast collection of titles but any book of academic or Scottish interest.
