EDC Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing issues entering an ISBN, please make sure that:
- The ISBN is tied to a Hachette Book Group (US) hardcover or paperback ISBN that is offered on our US website. We do not provide desk copies for Hachette UK ISBNS.
- It is not an Audiobook or Ebook ISBN. Ebook copies can be requested through VitalSource.com.
- The ISBN has already published. We do not provide advanced copies or pre-orders through the Exam/Desk Portal.
- The ISBN only contains numbers and does not include any dashes (-) or additional spaces.
- Incorrect Format: 978-1-64375-551-9, and 978 1 64375 551 9
- Correct Format: 9781643755519
When you enter the ISBN, you should see a drop down menu with the title. You must select it for information to auto-populate into the form.


Alternatively, if you search for a title on the Hachette Book Group website and scroll down to the Request Desk/Exam copy button, it’ll take you to an autofilled form.
If you do not have an ISBN error or continue to have issues, please send us a screenshot of your form so we can continue to troubleshoot.
