Free desk copies are available to teachers if requested on department stationery, indicating the course name, date, and estimated class enrollment. Please ask your bookstore for a purchase order number to add to your request. After confirming the order, we will send a desk copy within two business days.

No free copies will be sent if the college bookstore sells used books instead of ordering new ones from us. (We will make an exception and provide a desk copy, if the bookstore sells our used coursebooks at an 80-90% discount off our list price.)

Examination copies are available to teachers at a 10% discount if ordered on department letterhead, indicating the course name, date, and estimated size of an order. These orders must be prepaid, but the amount will be refunded if an order is placed through the college bookstore for 10 or more copies within 90 days, or if the book is returned in resalable condition.

Our books for course adoptions are carefully edited and designed, and priced very affordably for students; the royalties paid to our authors are based on new book sales. We can't maintain this policy if we give away free copies without actual adoptions.
