Requesting an Inspection Copy

Find the right book for your course.

Educators can request a free inspection copy  (sometimes referred to as exam or examination copies, review copies, and evaluation copies)to assess a book’s suitability for course adoption. These copies are intended to support your evaluation of the content’s suitability for your course objectives and student needs. Most of our inspection copies are provided as eBooks so you can get access to the book right away.

If you decide to adopt one of our titles as required reading, we’re happy to provide a print copy to support your teaching.
