Important Information about the adoption process

• Our textbook buyers rely on the information provided by academics as the basis for stocking textbooks required by your students. Without current and relevant information we are unable to pre-stock textbooks to avoid potential delays for students.
• We do not automatically re-order textbooks from previous years. You must confirm the textbook requirements for each year/semester required (with current enrolment estimates) before the bookshop is able to place orders with publishers.
• Our suppliers enforce cut-off dates for freight-free supply of international textbooks into our stores. Adoptions submitted after these dates may incur air freight charges in order to secure stock in time for the beginning of semester. Airfreight costs are part of the cost of stocking textbooks, leading to higher retail prices for those items.
• Our aim is to provide sufficient initial stock to cover all anticipated student demand for each textbook, whilst minimising the quantity of returns/unsold stock. Most suppliers restrict the quantity of stock we can return, and some titles cannot be returned. These conditions inform our initial buying patterns accordingly.
• It is important you identify yourself fully and enter a valid email address, otherwise there
  may be delays in processing your adoption.
• We welcome information about subjects which do not have any textbook requirements. This allows us to confirm for students if a course has no prescribed textbooks.

Desktop copies & instructor resources for adopted textbooks are available through the relevant publisher/distributor. Please contact the publisher's sales representative for more information. Below are links to most of our major supplier's websites. Our textbook buyers can also help with contact information for publisher's sales reps.
