Request Exam (or Desk) Copy

Professors and curriculum developers, if you are seriously considering a Baker Academic or Brazos Press title as a required textbook for your class, you are welcome to request a complimentary examination copy via this process (USA only). For UK/Europe and Canadian requests, please see instructions.

Desk copies - If you are already using one of our books for your class and need one for your own reference, you may request via this process.

Educator account verification required

If this is your first request, or if it has been two years since we verified our account, we need to verify your employment as an educator before sending a complimentary exam or desk copy. You will be able to keep track of exam and desk copy request, as well as book purchases, through your account. Verification request will be verified within 1 to 3 business days.

You will be asked to verify your account with either:
