5. How do I request an inspection copy?
If we offer an inspection copy service for a particular title an 'inspection copy' button will appear on the title page alongside the description of the product. Simply click on this button, then click 'Go to Order Basket' and follow the instructions.

Books which you may wish to adopt in class sets are available on inspection. You may retain the inspection copy for up to 60 days. Within that period you may:
i) keep the book free of charge, provided you purchase, or plan to purchase, 15 copies or more within the next academic year; or
ii) purchase the title at the published price; or
iii) return it to us in mint condition, you will be liable for any postage costs incurred in returning the items to us.

Books less likely to be adopted for class use are available on approval. Within 60 days you must either:
i) purchase the book at published price; or
ii) return it to us in mint condition, you will be liable for any postage costs incurred in returning the items to us.

Please note:
1. Inspection and approval copies are only sent to educational establishments, not private addresses. Books are sent carriage free, but their return is at the establishment's expense.
2. Not all of our titles are available on inspection, in which case no inspection copy button will appear on the page. If you have any queries about ordering a title on inspection please use the feedback button, which appears on every page to send us a message.
