Inspection and Desk Copies

Many of our titles are available on an INSPECTION or DESK copy basis. Please note, requests for an Inspection or Desk copy are not automatically approved and may need to be authorised by your Pearson Australia Sales Representative or the Sales Manager. Inspection and Desk copies may be provided under the following conditions:

Inspection Copies

You may evaluate a single copy of a Pearson textbook completely free of charge if you are genuinely considering adopting the text for class use and ordering student copies (at least 10) via your normal textbook supplier. If you also need to evaluate any associated teacher-support material before deciding to adopt a text, for example, Instructor’s Manual, Solution Manual etc., a sample of these may be provided at the discretion of your Pearson Australia Sales Representative.

Desk Copies

Once you have adopted your Pearson text, and can confirm an order for student copies has been placed, you may be entitled to additional copies for other instructors also using the same text. These desk copies can be provided by your Pearson Australia Sales Representative.

Instructor Support Material

Once you have adopted a Pearson text and can confirm an order for student copies has been placed, you may be entitled to receive any associated teacher support material (which may take the form of printed material, CD-ROMs, Websites or downloadable files). These resources can be obtained from your Pearson Australia Sales Representative. Please note that requests for Adoption Inspection copies or instructor materials are not automatically granted and may need the approval of your Pearson Australia Sales Representative or the Sales Manager.
