Textbook Examination Copy Request Form

Thank you for considering Island Press textbooks for course instruction. Free examination copies are available at the discretion of Island Press to qualified instructors of appropriate courses. Our examination copy policy is as follows:   

You have 90 days to examine the book or CD, after which you must choose one of the following three options:

1. Adopt the book or CD for ten or more students and keep the exam copy as your complimentary desk copy.
   
2. Pay the accompanying invoice which reflects a 20% faculty discount. 
   
3. Return the book with no obligation.

The limit is five titles for examination per customer. If special circumstances warrant the need to receive more than five titles, please contact our customer service department at (800) 621-2736.
