For Educators

ABOUT DESK COPIES

Desk copies are available at no cost at the discretion of the University of Pittsburgh Press to qualified instructors of appropriate courses. One complimentary desk copy per instructor is available for any book that has been assigned as a required or supplementary text in a scheduled class for the current or following term and is on order with a bookstore. The complimentary desk copy is provided with the understanding that 10 or more copies of the book will be bought by students in the course.

Please use your institution’s letterhead or your standard desk copy request form, making certain to include instructor name and title, name and date of course, approximate enrollment, and name of bookstore placing the order.

Please email the request to Lesley Rains: email Lesley

ABOUT EXAM COPIES

The University of Pittsburgh Press exam copy policy is designed to enable book consideration for your course with minimal cost to professors to include S&H costs. Examination copies of our books available in paperback may be requested in the US for a $10.00 shipping and handling (S&H) fee per book for course consideration. Please limit requests to three titles per semester. Pre-payment is required.

How to order University of Pittsburgh Press titles available in paperback from Longleaf Services / Exam Copy Dept.

Exam copy requests should be submitted via email.  Include the books you’re requesting and University of Pittsburgh Press book ISBN, your name, your university and department, semester/year and name of the course, and approximate enrollment. Once your request is approved, the customer service team will create an invoice for the shipping and handling costs so you can complete the exam copy order request.

Readers with Disabilities

The University of Pittsburgh Press can assist accessibility offices at institutions of higher learning by providing access to books for students who have disabilities that prevent them from using books in printed form. We have electronic files for many of our titles available upon special request.

We may need to bill your accessibility office a service fee, to cover the cost of preparing the file and transmitting it if you cannot accept a file via email. For instance, we generally charge $10.00 + shipping costs for delivery on a CD.
