Exam Copy Policy


TopAustralia and New Zealand

Definitions of types of examination copies to instructors:

Inspection copies:
Inspection copies: These are provided at the publisher's discretion to instructors/lecturers considering texts for course adoption for classes of 12 or more students. One exam copy of each book is available, up to a maximum of 3 different titles. Where you see the Exam Copy link on the book's web page, Inspection copies are available on a complimentary basis. Should the lecturer find that the book is not to their requirements, it would be appreciated if you can forward the book to a suitable lecturer in your department.

Feedback: It is very important to us to determine lecturers' responses and thoughts on all of the texts we publish. We enjoy receiving the reactions, and suggestions of our readers, and we would greatly appreciate it, if you could give us yours. You will be providing valuable feedback to the authors and editors and contributing to further editions of this text by responding to the few quick questions at our feedback site: www.blackwellpublishing.com/feedback/.

Desk copies: Desk copies will be provided to any instructor who has adopted a text for a course.
