How can I find out more about a book?

How can I be added to or removed from the mailing list?

Email the Webmaster with your request. Please note that we do rent mailing lists, so you might receive a mailing even though your name is not in our database.

How do I submit my manuscript for consideration?

Visit our Submission Guidelines page for information about what information to send, editors' specializations and email addresses, and where to send your manuscript.

How do I request a copy of a book to review?

All of our books are available for media review. Please fill out the Review Copy Request Form. You may also fax a request on company letterhead to 215.926.2141, attention to the Publicity Manager. If we're unfamiliar with your publication, we will ask for a sample copy. Questions about publicity should be directed to Gary Kramer.

I'm interested in one of your books for a class I teach. May I have an examination copy?

We invite you to write on departmental letterhead for an examination copy of any paperback title you wish to consider for course adoption. Please state course title, semester, and projected enrollment. Paperback examination copies are available for a $10.00 per title non-refundable service charge.

For a trial period, digital examination copies are available at no charge. To request a digital examination copy, please email the course title, semester and projected enrollment to: examcopy@temple.edu

For desk copies, please provide course ID, projected enrollment, semester class will be taught, and the name of the bookstore that will be placing the order. Please email the Marketing Director for details on hardcover books for course use.

I'm using one of your books for a class I teach, but haven't received my desk copy. What should I do?

Is it possible to contact the author of one of your books?

May I have permission to use copyrighted material?

You may fill out the Permissions Form with details about your request. Please note that if the selection is an excerpt, adaptation, or is altered in any way from its copyrighted form, a photocopy of the pages of material to be reprinted, indicating any edits, must be included in your request.
