Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question about your order? Here are some frequently asked questions.

Who can order a free inspection copy?

We provide free inspection copies of our textbooks to lecturers and faculty members who are considering to adopt one of our titles for a class. Please let us know which course you are planning to use our title for when requesting an inspection copy.

How many inspection copies can I order?

A maximum of three inspection copies may be ordered per lecturer each semester.

Which publications can be ordered?

We only provide inspection copies of textbooks (e.g. publications labeled DG Studium, DG Textbooks, or DG Graduate).

Why are some titles not available as free inspection copies?

Please understand that we do not provide inspection copies of textbooks published more than five years ago.

We also do not provide inspection copies of print-on-demand archive publications (reprint).

If you would like to request an inspection copy from one of our partner publishers, please contact that publisher directly.

In some cases, textbooks may be unavailable because we have already sent out the maximum number of inspection copies (print/ebook).
