Examination Copies
The University of Notre Dame Press offers a diverse selection of books that make accessible the ideas of today’s leading experts. Many of these books are a valuable resource for classrooms. Instructors who are considering a book for course use are encouraged to request examination copies.
There is no need to return the book after examining. Exam copies are limited to three titles per semester. Exam copies are limited, so requests will be honored at our discretion.
We are temporarily unable to offer digital exam copies while we upgrade our system to offer a better reading experience for you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
