In 1994 with a vision to provide lower priced textbooks to students, Encompass Infoshop by 2 students from UWA / Murdoch Uni.

Back then we were fed up of overpriced books. (Scams, such as giving a student "discount" - but marking up the price of the book beforehand or saying that law books weren't entitled to a discount etc, occurred regularly until we came along.)

If you would like the benefits of lower prices on your University or TAFE campus, lobby your Vice Chancellor and student union by asking them why the cheapest bookstore selling your University books isn't on your campus and when they intend to do something about it.

Though we ain't going to take them out to lunch or spend money on consultants who just spin crap in a tender document. We will just offer the lowest prices to students and the best service.

Encompass Infoshop is a privately owned company based in WA and is 100% owned by one of the student founders.
