Top-ups Explained

Clipper's unique 'top-up' standing order facility has been a popular and useful addition for libraries who wish to get the very best from their standing order plans.

Introduced in 2004 for our large print range, top-ups offer standing order subscribers the opportunity to receive extra copies of two "editor's choice" titles each month.

The top-up plan has now been extended to our core audio CD and cassette collections, ensuring that libraries have the right quantities of high quality titles to meet demand. Top-up choices are clearly indicated in our brochures.

Clipper Audio Added Value

  • The Author Talks – At least one title every month includes an exclusive recorded interview at the end of the book.
  • Every audio book has a short spoken synopsis and clear, helpful listening instructions.
  • The best narrators in the industry carefully cast to suit the mood and theme of the book.
  • Every month, Clipper guarantees to bring you titles which feature in the top-fifty bestseller lists.
