At UBC Press we recognize that due to the COVID-19 pandemic your job has changed and you are teaching online while working remotely. We’d like you know that our books are available digitally for you to review and adopt for your classes. Also, our ebooks are readily available for your students to purchase from our website. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help make this transition easier. Please note that we usually only ship examination copies and desk copies to departmental addresses, but during this time of working remotely, we are happy to ship to your home address.
