Book Orders

You must order your own desk copies from the publisher for your courses. If you have a teaching assistant, don’t forget to order an extra desk copy for him/her to use.

To check the availability of books you want to use in your course:

Go to http://www.booksinprint.com for current information on availability, publishers, prices, and supplementary materials. Every book currently in print in the United States is on this website.
