Examination Copies

Exam Copy Policy

The National Academies Press offers examination copies of its books to qualified instructors who are considering adopting the requested book as the required text for high-school, undergraduate or graduate level courses with a class size of 10 or more.

Examination copies are limited to one copy per title, per professor. All requests are subject to approval.


PDFs can be downloaded directly from our website at no charge for your personal use only, per terms of use.

Print copies can be requested from NAP, per instructions below.

Qualified Instructors have 30 days to examine the book before taking the following actions:

  1. Complete and return the questionnaire enclosed with the book. If you do not return the questionnaire you will be charged the full retail value of the book.

  2. Adopt the book for ten or more students and keep the exam copy as your complimentary desk copy. If the textbook is adopted and a bookstore order for ten (10) or more copies is received, the exam copy becomes a free desk copy (please notify us of the adoption and the bookstore order).
