Frequently asked questions
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.
A maximum of three inspection copies may be ordered per lecturer each semester.
We only provide inspection copies of textbooks (e.g. publications labeled DG Studium, DG Textbooks, or DG Graduate).
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).
We are happy to provide free review copies to editors, journalists and magazine publishers who would like to report on one of our publications. Reviewers can also order a review copy directly if the article has been approved by the magazine, newspaper, TV, radio, academic blog or similar. You can learn more about ordering a review copy here.
