Our ‘Digital First’ approach

We are working collaboratively with our authors, customers, suppliers and publishing partners, to fulfil our goals to reduce our carbon emissions. This means we take a digital-first approach to exam copies, offering a digital copy unless the book is only available in print. Find out more about about the work we are doing to ensure we have a positive environmental impact.

A digital exam copy will provide immediate access to the text once your request is approved and will enable you to trial our e-reader, Cambridge Spiral, which supports several features for instructors and students. 

If you have any difficulty with your digital exam copy, you can request a print copy*, via your local sales representative

 *Print copies may be subject to exam copy stock availability and are provided at the discretion of our sales team. We are committed to supporting your requirements as an instructor wherever possible. If you decide to adopt the title as core reading, we may also be able to support your request for a print teaching copy. 

The exam copy request process will request your institutional postal address, which is primarily for verification of your affiliation and instructor role. (We will only use this address at this stage for postal print copies if your requested textbook is only available in print).
