How to order review copies from academic publishers

Obtaining Complimentary Copies

The availability of review copies varies by university publishing group. Some university publishers offer review copies freely, while others only waive the cost if you either return the book or actually adopt it in your course. Pay careful attention to the instructions and disclaimers on each university publisher website.
