Examination copy policy
Requests for examination copies of Duke University Press books and single journal issues must be received in writing on institutional letterhead and must include the title and catalog number of the course for which the item is being considered, projected course enrollment, and semester or quarter the course will next be offered. Omission of course information will result in delays in processing. There is a $5 handling fee for each paperback exam copy. This fee should accompany your request. The exam copy becomes your desk copy if the book is adopted.
A maximum of three examination copies may be requested in a six-month period. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
On-approval examination copies of cloth-only books will be sent with an invoice, which will be canceled upon receipt of evidence of adoption, return of the book within sixty days, or payment.
