Inspire and Motivate Your Students With Our Affordable Textbooks
Find your textbookWhy Choose BVT?
BVT Publishing was founded on the belief that all students have the right to education, and should not face restraints to higher education simply because of the cost of a textbook. Our pioneering efforts have been dedicated to providing quality, affordable textbooks that meet the needs of students and instructors alike. As a growing publisher, we pride ourselves on continually developing our products through awareness and forward thinking. Our textbook representatives are responsive and ready to listen to your needs and build a publishing package that fits you. We learn from your expertise and create our products around it. After all, you and your students are our main priority.
We also recognize that each student has particular needs when it comes to textbooks, whether it is budget constraints or personal learning preferences. Some students like the recent shift to digital products, while others prefer a physical product that allows them to write in the margins, dog-ear pages, and highlight material. Either way, we have them covered with our various formats:
LAB BOOKPlus is our highly affordable, interactive online eBook platform loaded with features for both instructors and students. Instructors enjoy authoring tools that let you edit or add content to the underlying textbook, as well as auto-graded assignments, Student Engagement monitoring and Attendance features, plus a suite of online teaching tools. Students get an under $30 mobile-friendly eBook for 6 months, which is fully integrated with BVTLab®, plus study tools like built-in comprehension questions, notes and highlighting. Students also get Instant Access (2 weeks free), a 10%-off coupon and an affordable print companion.
Loose-Leaf Textbook is a physical product that allows students to carry only the chapters they need, and to insert their class notes right into their binder along with the textbook pages. This option is not a package and will not include the eBook, BVTLab® or any online student resources.
TEXTBOOKPlus is our most popular format and best value, as it includes both a loose-leaf textbook and our full access eBook, and is packaged with BVT Lab and online student resources.
Soft Cover Textbook is a physical product in the traditional, soft cover paperback format. This option is not a package and will not include the eBook, BVTLab® or any online student resources.
Customize a Textbook
BVT has taken textbook customization to a new level. You can start with any of our textbooks and fully edit the text and graphical content in any way you like, adding your own original content where desired. We will then fully re-typeset the entire manuscript and produce your textbook in the format of your choice (color or B&W, bound or loose-leaf, eBook or physical book). Depending on the level of your contribution, writing grants and royalties may be available. Please visit the Authors & Experts / Customization section of our website to learn more.
