Desk copies are available for any book that has been assigned as a primary (not "suggested") text in a scheduled class for the current or following term and is on order with a bookstore. A complimentary desk copy is provided with the understanding that 15 or more copies of the book will be bought by students in the course. (For information on how to order a copy of a book you are considering for potential course adoption, please see our instructions for examination copies).
