Please visit our Canadian Student Store to purchase from Canada. For information on purchases from other countries, please visit the Support Community for details.
Why should I purchase or rent from you instead of Amazon or another company?
Macmillan Learning is the only publisher to offer officially brand new textbooks with valid, authorized digital access codes for online study tools, like Launchpad, as part of our rental program. Other rental companies often state explicitly with respect to packages they offer that the included access codes may not work because their texts are used and the access codes may have been redeemed and will not work.
Macmillan Learning is also the only source of bundle rentals (including guaranteed unused access codes) for our products (other than for the titles in the Rental Only Program), and we price them much lower than any other way of getting this combined print and digital solution.
