Frequently Asked Questions
| Q. | What are inspection copies? | A. | The inspection copy system has been used by publishers for many years. The idea is that publishers will provide a copy of a text for you to consider as a classroom resource. If you like the title and decide to order at least a ˝ set (15- 20 copies depending on the publisher) you are entitled to keep the inspection copy without payment. If you don’t like the title, you have two options a) send the book back to the publisher in mint condition (usually you will be responsible for the postage cost) or pay for the book using the invoice that will be sent with the title. |
