Examination and Desk Copy Requests

By default, examination copies requested through our website will be sent in digital format unless you’ve already decided to adopt the book.

We strongly prefer that professors look at a digital version initially to review a book’s table of contents, check out a chapter or two, and look at the apparatus. We hope that a cursory review in this format will give you a sense of whether the book truly has potential for your course. Broadview is an independent publisher operating on slim margins, and this approach helps us keep our book costs as low as possible for students.

Complimentary print desk copies remain available once a title is adopted for a course.

If you need us to make an exception to our digital-first examination copy policy, simply write to your Broadview representative or reps@broadviewpress.com with your request.

Likewise, if you prefer to teach from digital textbooks and/or want to review one of our books on the eBook platform your students use, please write to your representative or reps@broadviewpress.com. We will do what we can to accommodate.

If you are a departmental administrator arranging desk copies for instructors, please confirm with faculty that all copies are needed before submitting a request. We often receive duplicate requests from professors and administrators for the same course.

We ship to all North American locations from our Peterborough, Ontario, warehouse. Shipping times vary depending on your location; it will take between 2-12 business days.

Examination copies are available through this site for Canadian and American instructors only. All other instructors should contact Gazelle Book Services at sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk
