  • Most of our books have free samples that you can download from the individual book pages. Please free to use these in class and share with your colleagues.
  • We will be pleased to send a single copy of any book for examination and evaluation on a pre-paid basis. If you wish to return the materials, please carefully pack and ship them to us within 60 days and we will refund you the full cost of the purchase and the postage. You pay the return postage. Alternatively, if you notify us that you are adopting the text, when we get your order for 10 or more copies, we will subtract the copy of the original text. Just be sure to attach your receipt when you email us.
  • We will send sample desk copies for possible course adoption with an invoice on behalf of their institution. An institutional billing address is required as is approval of the institution.
