Desk Copy Information

Publishers expect desk copy requests to come directly from the faculty person, not the Bookstore. This can be done on department letterhead or on the Desk Copy Request Form attached or available from the Bookstore.

When the requested desk copy does not come in time, the Bookstore can help the faculty member by supplying a copy of the book from our shelves. In such a case, the book should be charged to the respective department (not to a personal account) and when the desk copy comes in and is brought to the store, the account will be credited. To get credit, desk copies must be returned to the Bookstore within the term they are used, and must be new without any markings (cannot say "desk copy" or "complimentary"). Used copies must be returned by the fifth week of classes due to wholesalers' requirements. To issue credit correctly, when returning desk copies, we need to know when desk copies were taken and what department was charged.
