Liverpool University Press has acquired around 400 backlist and forthcoming titles from Casemate/Oxbow.  The books, published under the Aris & Phillips imprint, are predominantly facing page translations of Classics and Hispanic texts with widespread course adoption.

Anthony Cond, Managing Director of LUP, said: “Complementing existing editorial strengths in Classics and the Modern Languages, the acquisition of the Aris and Phillips lists presents a high quality addition to our print and digital publishing.”

David Farnsworth, President of the Casemate Group said “We are delighted the Aris & Phillips list will continue to thrive in the more than capable hands of LUP – it is a great new home for it.”

Liverpool University Press assumes publishing responsibilities for the acquired titles with immediate effect. All stock will be available via its distribution channels – Turpin Distribution (UK, Europe and ROW) and Oxford University Press (North America).
