Hachette Book Group is pleased to provide complimentary desk copies of any adopted, required text for qualified instructors at accredited colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. Complimentary examination copies are also available to instructors who wish to consider titles for adoption. All Requests are subject to approval and stock availability.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently waiving our requirement for shipping desk/exam copies exclusively to institutional addresses. If you need a desk or exam copy sent to your home or an alternate address, please provide that information in your initial request. If you would prefer an e-book edition, please contact academic@hbgusa.com.
To request a Desk/Exam copy, search by ISBN, title, or author. Once you’ve found the book you'd like to request, select “Request Desk/Exam Copy” on the book’s page and complete the online form.
One title per order. To request additional copies for TA’s or multiple sections, please contact academic@hbgusa.com.
For titles without a Desk/Exam copy option, please send your request to academic@hbgusa.com and include the following information:
10-or 13-digit ISBN
Title and Author
Name of course and enrollment
Bookstore name and contact
Preferred mailing address (no P.O. Boxes)
Digital Sampling:
Many of our titles are now available for instructor sampling through VitalSource. Please log in or sign up at vitalsource.com to request a digital copy of a text.
