Sheffield Phoenix Press

The SBL is proud to serve as the authorized North American distributor for books published by Sheffield Phoenix Press. SPP, a relatively young publishing house with a rich publishing pedigree, is led by Publishers David J. A. Clines, J. Cheryl Exum, and Keith W. Whitelam and General Manager Ailsa Parkin.

All SPP titles, whether hardback or paperback, are available from the SBL at the same price listed on the SPP website. Note especially that individual scholars or students may purchase the hardback edition of any SPP book at a 50 percent discount, whenever a paperback edition is not available. To qualify for this discount, you must be a scholar or a student ordering a book for yourself or to give to another person free of charge. You may not buy a book for resale, and you may not buy a book on behalf of an institution or library. The discount does not apply to institutions, libraries, booksellers, and any customer determined to be outside the category of individual scholar and student.
