Guide to requesting desk copies from publishers
The bibliographic information for most current textbooks can usually be found using Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
While I normally use Amazon for searching for books - the Barnes and Noble site seems to present the information more succinctly at the top of the page so is recommended. Input both the title and author for best results.
--------------------------------------------------------
Most publishers have web sites listing contact information. We get very good results by searching Goggle for the publisher's name and add the term desk copies, examination copies, or exam copies. In most cases, the needed information is quickly retrieved. If too many pages are retrieved - try request desk copies plus the publish name
Trial to Gale Publisher's Directory - ignor the results which are not from Publisher's Directory
