What Can I Buy from the Journal of Liberal History Shop?

The Journal of Liberal History sells three types of items directly from its website: books, concise booklets, and individual journal issues. Two current listings are priced at £10.00 each — Women for Liberty and Journal of Liberal History issue 132 — and both use an "Add to cart" purchase flow. If you subscribe, you get a 20% discount on all books and booklets published by the History Group, so the shop is cheaper for subscribers than for one-off buyers.

What's available to buy

The site describes its catalogue as "a collection of books, concise booklets, and individual issues." That breaks down into:

• Books — longer works published by the History Group, such as British Liberal Leaders (Biteback, 2015), which the site draws on for its commemorative writing.
• Booklets — shorter, focused publications.
• Single journal issues — you can buy one issue at a time rather than committing to a subscription.

The homepage's "Latest Publications" section currently shows two items, both at £10.00:

There's also a "Buy Journals" entry point alongside "Books," which suggests journals can be browsed and bought as a separate category from books.

How buying works

The purchase path is a standard add-to-cart flow:

1. Find the item you want on the publications or journals listing.
2. Click Add to cart next to that item.
3. Proceed to checkout from your cart.

The site doesn't publish shipping costs, delivery times, or accepted payment methods on the pages available here, so those details would need to be confirmed at checkout.

The subscriber discount

Every subscriber receives 20% off all books and booklets published by the History Group. That's the main financial reason to subscribe if you plan to buy more than a couple of items — the discount applies across the catalogue rather than to a single title.

Note the discount is described as covering books and booklets. The subscription plans themselves are separate products:

• Digital — download the latest and all previous issues from the website.
• Student — a discounted rate for full- or part-time students.
• Print — four issues per year delivered by post.
• Print overseas — the print plan for international delivery.
• Digital Plus — digital downloads plus four print issues per year.
• Digital plus overseas — the digital-plus-print combination for overseas delivery.

Choosing between buying single items and subscribing

• Buy individual items if you want one specific book, booklet, or issue — for example, a single copy of Journal of Liberal History 132 — and don't need ongoing issues.
• Subscribe if you want regular issues and expect to buy books or booklets too, since the 20% discount then applies to those purchases. Digital plans suit readers who want the full back catalogue online; print plans suit readers who want physical copies posted.

Prices shown here (£10.00 for the two current listings) are the ones published on the site; other titles may be priced differently, and the site doesn't state whether prices include postage.
