If you are considering a paperback book for possible course use and would like to receive an examination/review copy of a UC Press title, please submit your order on your school letterhead along with $5- per book for shipping and handling. Please include all relevant course information including course(s) for which you are considering adopting the book and expected enrollment. You can mail your exam copy request along with prepayment to:

Exam copy requests are limited to two titles per semester. Requests received without payment will not be processed.  If you prefer to fax your request, please include either a Visa or Mastercard number on your request along with the expiration date on the card to cover the $5- fee.  Canadian customers can only request paperback exam copies by credit card or by mailing a  money order.  Requests may be faxed with appropriate payment to 800.999.1958.

For Hardback Exam Copies (US only): Copies are billed at a 20% discount for the book (plus shipping and handling) and shipped on a 90-day approval basis. If you furnish the Exam Copy Department (listed above) with a copy of your bookstore's order within 90 days, your invoice will be considered paid in full and the book is yours for desk use. If you decide not to adopt the book for class use, you may either purchase it as invoiced or return it in salable condition and your invoice will be cancelled. Please include the name of the course, projected enrollment, and semester for each examination copy you will be requesting.

For customers in the UK & Europe wishing to request inspection copies:

If a book appears to have possibilities for course use, we will be glad to send an inspection copy post free. A 20% off "On-Approval" invoice will accompany each book. It can be retained for a period of 60 days. If the book is adopted for class use and an order of five or more copies results, the charge will be canceled. It is essential that you provide the details of the course, number of students, how many copies are being ordered and through which bookseller. If the book is not adopted or returned, payment of the "On-Approval" invoice will be required.

All requests for inspection copies should be made on official school letterhead and sent to the John Wiley & Sons Distribution Centre. Requests should be limited to no more than three titles. Should you wish to purchase the book, refer to the ordering information.

Please direct your inspection copy requests to:
