What bookstores are supported in the item view?

The following bookstores are supported within Talis Aspire. If your bookstore is not listed here, then please contact your store and ask them if they have an API available for Talis Aspire to connect to and use to get real-time availability information. More details on the sort of API that Talis Aspire can support can be found in this bookstore API article.

This displays as an information banner at the top of each list and available items are also badged with the Perlego 'P' on the book jacket for a quick visual guide to coverage. For further details see our support article: Talis Aspire and Perlego integration - Overview.
