How To Order

For Educators

If you have assigned one of our books for your course use, we encourage you to inform your campus bookstore of your selection. The bookstore can then place an order with our distributor, University of Toronto Press, well in time. If you or the bookstore have any concerns about the availability of our books, please write to us at marketing@fernpub.ca

Alternatively, you can also direct your students to this website. Books always ship the fastest if the order is placed on our website. All website orders must be prepaid.

We also offer ebooks in epub and PDF formats. All digital formats are DRM protected. Our ebooks are also available on Campus eBookstore, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Apple iBookstore and OverDrive. Students can select the platform and format to best suit their needs. 

If you’re interested in using select chapters from our books, please visit the Rights & Permissions page for more details.

.Examination Copies and Desk Copies

We are happy to provide examination copies of our books for consideration as course texts. You can request any book from our catalogue by visiting the desired book page on this website and click the “REQUEST EXAM COPY” link. When you make your examination copy request, please state the course name, expected student enrollment, and expected semester of adoption. We reserve the right to limit examination copy requests and/or to provide books on a pre-payment or approval basis. You can also send examination copy requests directly to examrequest@fernpub.ca with the required details in the email. 

If you decide to adopt our book for your course use, we’ll be able to provide limited desk copies based on the class size. Please send your Desk Copy request examrequest@fernpub.ca. Please state the course name, actual student enrollment, and date of class commencement.

.Print on Demand

Some of our titles are only available as Print on Demand (POD) and are marked as such throughout our website. If you have decided to use one of our POD books for your course, keep in mind these titles have a minimum order of 15 copies. All orders are non-returnable and please allow at least 4 weeks for delivery. These orders can be serviced through our distributors only, so please make sure your university bookstore is aware of this. 

.Accessibility Services

Fernwood Publishing offers many of our titles as electronic texts for students experiencing barriers with print materials. Please have the accessibility services department at your university or college contact accessibility@fernpub.ca with your requests.

.Digital Support

Ebooks are not returnable and non-refundable. Every effort will be made by Fernwood Publishing staff to troubleshoot customer ebook issues but we’re not tech experts. Please be patient with us if there are any issues in downloading or accessing our ebooks. We strongly recommend reading our ebook FAQ page before making a purchase decision for ebooks formats.
