National Book Tokens Student Book Card
With the new term nearly upon us don't forget to pick up a National Book Tokens Student Book Card, an innovative way to pay for students' books. It provides peace of mind for parents that money intended for books is spent on books, whilst giving students an easy way to buy their essential course texts. How it works is simple. It comes as two connected gift cards: one is kept by parents to top up with value whenever required at their local bookshop the other is taken to college by students who can spend this value on books at their local bookshop.
