EXAMINATION COPY POLICY: An instructor may request one copy of three University of Hawai‘i Press text publications each term. All requests must be submitted on departmental letterhead and include the author, book title, course name and number, course term, and estimated enrollment. Please include a shipping & handling payment of $7.00 per copy for books with a retail price of $35.00 or less. Outside the U.S., this fee is $10.00 per copy.

Examination copies priced at more than $35.00 are available at a 20% discount off the retail price, and include free shipping worldwide. All examination copies are nonreturnable and are mailed via USPS Media Mail. All fees may be paid by VISA, MasterCard, check, or money order, payable to University of Hawai`i Press. If your request is not approved, your prepayment will be returned.

DESK COPY POLICY: After a University of Hawai‘i Press text publication has been adopted for course use and we receive your bookstore order for 10 or more copies, a complimentary desk copy is available. Requests must be submitted on departmental letterhead or on a standard AAP, NACS, or similar form and include the author, book title, course name and number, course term, date classes start, estimated enrollment, and the name and phone number of the bookstore that has placed the order. The name of the instructor, address, and contact information should be clearly stated. If the instructor has received an examination copy, this copy shall serve as their desk copy. An instructor may request a replacement desk copy once every two years. To expedite approval, please enclose a copy of your department’s order to your campus bookstore. Please note that orders of used copies do not qualify toward approval of a desk copy. All desk copies are sent via USPS Media Mail. Requests from Canada should be sent to Scholarly Book Services <customerservice@sbookscan.com>, and will be subject to their desk copy policy.
