For Educators
There are several ways to adopt our books as course readings as noted below. Previews of all books are linked to this website and include front and back covers, introductions, tables of contents, and a few sample pages from first chapters. They can help you make decisions on course adoptions. More extensive downloads of first chapters can be provided, on request, to let late-registering students follow readings while awaiting book deliveries.
Direct Orders – Copy and post the URL links from this website for the particular books you adopt. Post them so your students can order them. The print-on-demand and shipping process may take a few weeks, so notify pre-registered students early. As noted above, first chapter downloads are available for later registrants to keep up with course readings while they await their deliveries. And, consider ordering a couple copies for your school library.
Bookstore Orders – As a small publisher working hard to keep prices low, ArchiBasics Press doesn’t sell through resellers, cannot offer books for speculative sales, or take back unsold copies. So, consider stocking a limited number of copies at your campus bookstore for students who don’t pre-register or who simply prefer not to order online. If this option interests you, please ask your bookstore manager to contact us. Our print-on-demand vendor, Lulu, offers volume discounts.
eBooks – ArchiBasics Press books is not currently publishing eBooks because this collection’s profuse graphics argue for having a paper copy on which to sketch and make notes. However, ArchiBasics Press can produce them if there is demand, and invites instructors to contact us to discuss their needs.
Our books are delivered by Lulu all over the world and can be purchased in the currencies of the United States, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, and Australia.
