An Examination Copy is a copy of a publication that is being considered for course adoption. Upon approval, the publication will be sent to you followed by an invoice. You have 30 days to examine the publication. If you choose to adopt the publication you will be requested to provide the course number, course title and the number of students. Once this information is provided, your invoice will be cancelled and the Examination Copy will become a Desk Copy. If the publication is not adopted, you may either purchase the book or return both the book and the invoice.

A Desk Copy is a free copy of a publication furnished for a faculty member's use when the publication has been adopted as a required text for classroom use.

To place an order for either an Examination or Desk Copy, you can view books available for course adoption and then go to the APA Course Adoption Order Form. Follow the instructions to electronically submit your request. Examination and desk copies can be provided only to faculty within the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Requests from other locations should be directed to the applicable international distributor.

For additional information regarding our course adoption policies, please contact the Order Department by email or by phone at (800) 374-2721.

APA Custom Course Books provides instructors the ability to create customized books for their course needs using a simple, easy-to-navigate, web-based interface.

For questions about how to build a custom book, how to order, or how to obtain technical support, please email SharedBook Customer Service or call 866-297-9095. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–9 p.m. Eastern time.

Note: Distributors do not send out examination copies of APA books. Please contact APA for examination copies.
