Ordering publications from CTA:
the Publications Distribution Service

CTA's Publications Distribution Service (PDS) operates on a subscription basis. The subscriptions are currently free-of-charge. All books on CTA's publications list have a nominal value in credit points.

Subscribers

If you wish to order publications on CTA's list, please use your credit points and send a publications order form to CTA or, if you live in Burkina Faso, to CTA's local distributor (NB. Each order form has a unique identification number and may not be reproduced. Currently, you cannot order by email or letter.) More information about publications on CTA's list is in the Publications Catalogue and Spore.

If you wish to obtain publications exceeding your credit point allocation, you can buy them from our commercial distributor or, in the case of co-publications or books not published by CTA, from the main publisher, an international distributor or a retail outlet.
