Desk & Exam Copies

Are you considering adopting a Penn Press book for your classroom?

At University of Pennsylvania Press, we strive to be an environmentally responsible publisher and to help keep down the cost of course materials for students. In accordance, we encourage instructors to request digital examination copies whenever possible by visiting our digital exam copy portal, where nearly all of our titles should be available in ebook form. There, instructors may request examination copies of books they wish to consider for course adoption. Up to three ebooks are available simultaneously for this purpose at no cost for a trial period of 60 days.

If you cannot find what you are looking for in the digital exam copy portal, please email tkellmer@upenn.edu.

If you would prefer a print examination copy, you can request one through Ingram Academic at www.ingramacademic.com. For more information about requesting print examination copies through Ingram Academic, visit: https://www.ingramacademic.com/find-books-exam-desk-copy-policy/.

On the Ingram Academic site, you will find many of our titles available. Search by ISBN, title, or author, and select “Request Exam Copy.” If you cannot find what you are looking for on the Ingram Academic site, please email tkellmer@upenn.edu. For any other question you may have about placing a request for a print examination copy, please email Ingram Academic directly at academicorders@ingramcontent.com.
