Desk copy

A desk copy is a complimentary copy of a textbook or other publication that is provided to a professor or instructor for review and consideration for adoption as a course textbook. Publishers often provide desk copies to professors and instructors who are considering using a particular book in their courses, so that they can evaluate the book’s content and decide whether it is a good fit for their course. Desk copies are typically provided to professors and instructors free of charge, although some publishers may require instructors to pay for shipping or handling fees. If an instructor decides to adopt a book for a course, they may request additional copies of the book for their students to purchase.
