NEW! Electronic Exam Copy Program
February 5th, 2010
As part of our foray into the world of eBooks, we're making digital exam copies available for the first time. If you're interested in taking these first steps with us, send an email, fax, or letter or call us requesting a 90 day examination copy to our main contact address. Please include the name of the book you're interested in; your name, address, and email; course name, course number, approximate enrollment, semester and year taught, and decision date.
We will email you a link to download the eBook version of the title requested and instructions for reading it in Adobe Digital Editions on your computer or on a Sony Reader. Adobe Digital Editions is free and works just like Acrobat, but easier for reading! The eBook is for your personal use only and is protected against copying, forwarding, or printing. After 90 days the file will be disabled. If you decide to adopt the book for your course, let us know, and we'll send you a free desk copy of the real thing.
We are still loading our many titles into the digital database so not every book will be immediately available.
We welcome your feedback on the new digital age of course exam copies.

At the same time, we are sad to be ending our 3 year relationship with Berg Publishers. Berg took us on before we had published any books and has been a superb partner for us. The change of distributor has been brought on by changes in Berg's mission, including their recent purchase by Bloomsbury. We thank their staff for the wonderful efforts on our behalf.
After March 1, customers in Asia and the Pacific should order from our US distributor. Journal subscribers worldwide are all serviced out of our California office as before.
Australia/New Zealand customers order from Footprint Books
September 11th, 2008
While Left Coast customers in Australia and New Zealand have been able to obtain our books from the good folks at Footprint Books in Sydney for several years, it has been through an intermediary so there was a substantial time lag in receiving new titles from us. As of September 1, 2008, we have established a direct relationship with Footprint, so that books will get to you much quicker than in the past. They are now air-shipped biweekly from our American warehouse to Australia. Contact Information:
