Want to consider a title for course adoption?
Guilford makes copies for course adoption consideration available to professors in the U.S. and Canada in two different ways; some titles are Free For Adoption Consideration (FFAC), while others fall under our 60-day exam policy.
Free for Adoption Consideration
Guilford is pleased to offer free copies of selected titles to college and university professors considering possible course adoption. Your course must meet our criteria for content relevance.
If the title is available as an e-book, you may download an FFAC e-book instead of requesting a print copy. Use the "check status" box above for a link to your download, or visit the product page and click on "Download an e-book now". Note: FFAC e-books are provided in PDF format from ebooks.com, so they are paginated and formatted just like the printed book.
Your FFAC e-book request will be approved on the next US business day.
Usage rights for Guilford FFAC e-books:
Guilford e-books come with certain restrictions (also known as DRM or Digital Rights Management) for the protection of copyrights. When you download an FFAC e-book, you have the right to:
60-day Exam Policy
If the book you are considering is not on the FFAC list or if your course does not meet our criteria for a free copy, you may request an exam copy. The exam copy will be shipped to you with an invoice that will be canceled if, within 60 days, Guilford is notified that an order for 10 or more copies will be placed by your university book store, or if you return the book. A postage-paid return label will be provided with your exam copy for your convenience. Otherwise, we will assume you are keeping the book for personal use and will expect payment at a faculty discount (10% off the list price). At this time, exam copies are not available as e-books; please request the print version.
Already chosen to adopt a title?
If you've chosen to adopt one of our titles for your course of 10 or more students, thank you. Guilford provides a complimentary (desk) copy when you adopt a text.
Contact a Customer Service Representative
If you would like to speak with a customer service representative who can help recommend titles for your courses or assist with any FFAC, exam, or desk requests, please call us at 800-365-7006 and we'll be happy to help you.
Note: Free and exam copies will not be shipped to a residential address. Please be sure to include your university or college address. There is a limit of two titles per course. Guilford reserves the right to limit the number of exam copies and/or free copies sent to each professor per academic year.
