Stanford University Press goes live with Glassboxx!

Stanford University Press, a respected leader in scholarly publishing, is now live with Glassboxx and the Academic Reader app! As one of the first publishers to join the Academic Reader community, this is a transformative step in scaling up the direct sales of both print and digital books, offering readers a seamless shopping experience.

The collaboration brings a best-in-class eCommerce infrastructure to Stanford University Press’s website, ensuring readers can now browse, purchase, and enjoy books across formats with ease – whether ordering a print edition for home delivery or diving straight into a digital download via the Academic Reader app.

As Stanford University Press shared in an update earlier this year, the shift is “mostly invisible” but represents a powerful enhancement to enhance user experience and operational agility. This allows them to focus on what matters most: publishing works that shape critical discourse and engage the most vital currents of thought across the humanities and social sciences.

Darin Brockman, Glassboxx CEO, said, “We are incredibly excited to partner with Stanford University Press. Together, we’re enhancing accessibility to trusted and thought-provoking content for readers and researchers around the world.”

With Glassboxx in place, the press is well-positioned to serve a new generation of digital-first researchers while continuing to support those who prefer the tangible experience of print. We’re proud to support Stanford University Press in this next chapter—and excited to see what comes next.
