3. If filling out a web form:
   
   
   • Enter your home address (or address you would like your desk copy shipped to)
   • If ordering for your TAs, make sure to enter their shipping address as well, however, it may be easier for them to fill out a separate request form.
   • *Section number is "00"
     
     
4. If filling out a paper template (to email or fax):
   
   • Email the templates to the appropriate contact
     
     

Tips and important things to consider:

• The publishing website or Amazon.com are good sources to find the 13-digit ISBN number. This will help ensure that the correct version of the book is ordered.
• Desk copies can only be ordered for required books.
• Publishers track desk copy requests and will not approve repeated requests for the same book. Please do not submit a request for desk copies that you have previously received. If you are ordering them for a TA, please indicate that when contacting the publishers.
