[nabs-l] Book request from publishers

[Alexander Castillo]

Hi, in order to receive an accessible electronic copy  of a "new"
textbook, most publishers require a proof of purchase/receipt of the
paper copy.

In the past, I have purchased the paper copy of the book and made a
copy of the receipt for the office of students with disabilities,
which deal directly with the publishers, as some publishers will not
accept request directly from students. This information may be found
on most publisher websites.

as an alternative, you can try purchasing an inaccessible electronic
copy of the book  (this would bring the cost down to almost 50% of the
paper copy price) if it is available, and then submitting your receipt
to the publisher. I have never tried this method...
