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.

These orders can be serviced through our distributors only, so please make sure your university bookstore is aware of this.
