Platform has joined forces with internet bookseller Eddington Hook to offer you the chance to win your course books for free, or £40 to spend on cookery, sports or travel books. And there’ll be five runners up prizes of The Good Study Guide, published by OU Worldwide, or £10 to spend online.
Eddington Hook is a specialist mail order and internet bookseller which has been supplying set books to Open University students since the OU set books scheme started in 1971. It has just relaunched its website to offer students more information than ever on OU courses and set books, with a fresh new look and easier navigation. It’s also packed with discounts and the addition of three new specialist shops in cookery, sports and travel.
