Paperback exam copies may also be requested by instructors, with the understanding that the book will be returned if it is not ultimately adopted. Please send requests to utpress@utk.edu from your .edu email address and include the following information: title and author, course title and number, expected enrollment, semester the course will be taught, instructor’s name, and name and address of the institution.

If the book is adopted as a text and an order is received for 10 or more copies within 90 days, it may be kept as a free desk copy. If it is not adopted, the book may be purchased at a 20% discount or returned in saleable condition, without obligation, within the 90-day period. Books will be sent to the school address only. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
