If you are ordering a shrink-wrap package configuration, please:

Other Considerations
The Bookstore will order non-returnable texts if the department chairperson accepts financial responsibility for unsold stock. Before such a text is ordered, the Bookstore must receive signed consent from the chairperson.
Alternate book choices should be considered in the event that there are difficulties such as reprints, delayed release dates, publisher merger problems, global unrest, weather conditions, trucking in.

All submissions containing any amount of a printed work must comply with copyright law.
