CASE STUDY
Interactive book previews help Harvard Education Press give readers a richer way to discover, explore and engage with its titles online.
Harvard Education Press wanted to give readers more than a book description. Through Supadu, HEP introduced Bowker’s Book2Look Biblets, allowing visitors to explore tables of contents and sample content directly from its book pages.
The previews can also appear beyond HEP’s own website across bookselling and digital channels, helping titles reach readers wherever they discover them online.

How it works
Book2Look recreates the experience of browsing a book in a bookstore. Readers can explore sample pages and additional content directly from the publisher’s book page, with links helping move them from discovery towards purchase.
HEP creates a preview PDF, uploads it and publishes the Biblet. Existing previews can be updated simply by replacing the PDF, making the process quick and straightforward for the publishing team.
What you get
Give readers an engaging “Look Inside the Book” experience directly on your website, while extending the reach of your titles across third-party bookselling websites and other digital channels.
Book2Look provides straightforward publishing and updating, analytics showing views and referring websites, secure handling of uploaded PDFs and a scalable way to increase discovery across both frontlist and backlist titles.
Proven Results
Since introducing Book2Look in March 2025, Harvard Education Press has generated more than 218,000 Biblet views. Selected backlist titles have also seen increased engagement, including a 27% increase in page views for one title and a 200% increase in unit sales for another between 2025 and 2026.
