We are happy to provide inspection copies of books suitable for use by students to enable lecturers to consider adopting them as course textbooks. Only those books marked as available on inspection can be requested for this purpose, and are sent out at our discretion. Inspection copies are available to lecturers within the UK. Lecturers in Canada and the United States should contact ISBS for further information on 0503 287 3093 or info@isbs.com, and in Australia and New Zealand on 02 9552 2200 or www.federationpress.com.au.
To request an inspection copy if you are in the UK please complete the form below. The book(s) requested will be sent to you with an invoice, and you will have 30 days to consider them for adoption on your course. Once you have received the book(s) you will have the following options:
If you decide to recommend the book for use or purchase by a group or class of at least 12 students you may retain the inspection copy/copies free of charge.
If you do not adopt the books but wish to keep this copy/copies, you can send us your remittance or pay on-line.
If you decide neither to purchase or adopt the book(s), you need to return them to us in resaleable condition.
We also request that you let us know the name of nearest college or campus bookshop that stocks books for students taking courses at your institution, and to inform the bookshop of your recommendation so they can order in stock.
