Titles on hold

As you add a book to your order, the stock of that book is reserved for you to ensure its availability. You can then place the order "on hold" for up to four complete days, in case you are waiting for other customers to confirm their orders or choose their free books. 

Please do not use this function to reserve stock speculatively. 

Some titles, including new releases, key seasonal titles and special offers can not be put on hold - this is to ensure availability and fair access for in-demand releases to all Partners.

For more information about holding titles, please read the "Policy regarding placing orders (and stock) on hold" in the Partner Guide**.
