Corwin offers over 1600 eBooks via our partners and we are publishing new eBooks every month.

You may check with your provider’s account representative or contact your Corwin account manager. Most providers carry a large number of Corwin titles.

You may visit the provider’s web site and search for the book title or author.

Please check first with your provider for technical support. Each provider’s purchase method and platform is different, and they are the best source of support. If you are unable to find the answers you need from the provider, you may contact support@corwin.com.

Not at all. Most of our eBook partners provide their own free software or platform which can be used to read eBooks on your computer or on an iPad, tablet, or Smartphone.

• ePub uses a reflowable text format to display your eBook. This allows for a smooth reading experience, especially if there are lengthy sections of narrative or expository text with few tables or graphics. Books with many tables and graphics may not display as well in this format.
• Web PDF format maintains the look of the print book and may be a better option for books with numerous tables, figures, and graphic elements.

Please check the details on your provider’s website for information about printing functionality. This varies with each provider.

Simply go to My Account and fill in your information. That's it.

We'll send you special offers and discounts just for online users.

Fill out the Areas of Interest section. We can be sure to send you only the information that you want if you tell us what areas in education are of most interest to you.

By saving your information in an online account, when you purchase a book, all of your information is already in the system. Simply tell us which address to send your books to rather than re-enter the same information each time.

By saving your institution and course information, requesting a complimentary review copy or a 60-day exam copy is much faster. Simply tell us the expected enrollment, and the term for which you're considering the book, and you're all set!

Currently, only faculty at 2- and 4-year higher education institutions is eligible to request a review copy online. If you are not a faculty member at a higher education institution, you may still be eligible. Contact your sales manager to further explore this option.

Complimentary review copies or 60-day exam copies are available for most Corwin products to qualified faculty at 2- and 4-year higher education institutions. Where available, a Review Copy icon is located underneath the red Add to Cart button on each product page. Clicking on the Review Copy icon will add the product to your review copy cart and begin your request process. Please note that we will request a billing address, but not a credit card number for any 60-day exam request. 60-Day Exam Copies are subject to invoice at the culmination of the examination period, and therefore require that we request a billing address for invoice. Complimentary Review Copies are just that, and require no billing information.

Complimentary Review Copies are just that - free, and are yours to keep once you have completed your review. 
60-Day Examination Copies are yours to review for 60 days. At the end of the review period, you can return the book to us; keep the book and pay the invoice; or adopt the book for your course, and it is yours to keep as a desk copy.

Detailed instructions and a copy of our policies can be found here.

While we strive to make ordering online as simple and smooth a process as possible, we understand that you may not wish to use our online ordering process. You can request a review copy by emailing adopt@corwin.com, calling Customer Service at (800) 233-9936, or for K-12, contact your sales manager, and for higher ed, contact your higher ed rep.

Review copies are shipped via media mail. If you require your review copy more quickly, please contact Customer Service at (800) 233-9936, or contact your sales manager.

We appreciate that you've considered our book for your course. Please let us know if you'll be adopting it for use. The easiest way to do this is by going to your account at your convenience, clicking on the "Review Copies" tab, and letting us know directly.

Corwin is proud to comply with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). We are pleased to provide you with information on this to assist you in making an informed textbook decision. You can find the HEOA information for each title available for review on the Corwin site. Additionally, you can email corwinheoa@corwin.com or contact Corwin Customer Service at 1-800-233-9936 for this information.

To read more about the HEOA, visit http://ed.gov/policy/highered/leg/hea08/index.html.

By completing and returning the adoption review request form, you indicate that you understand titles are available on a complimentary basis, and that you have read and agreed to the adoption review policies. Corwin reserves the right to review and approve all requests. Adoption Review Policies are subject to change without notice. All prices quoted are the publisher's list price in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice.

Complimentary Review Copies 
Please note the following policies:

• A minimum annual course enrollment of 15 students is required to receive complimentary review copies.
• Please limit your complimentary copy requests to two titles per course, and a maximum of 10 complimentary review copies per calendar year per faculty member, so that we can continue to publish high quality texts at affordable prices.
• You may request up to four books/copies at one time via the web. Should you need to request more than four books/copies, please call Customer Service at 1-800-233-9936 or email adopt@corwinpress.com.

Should you adopt a Corwin complimentary review title for your course, we ask that you please call Corwin Customer Care at 1-800-233-9936. We will update your customer record to indicate that you have adopted the text and note that the book is a complimentary desk copy for you to keep and use in teaching your course.
